Tourism has been an important activity in the past. Today tourism is a high revenue generation industry in many countries. But recently, many destinations are suffering from overtourism. Overtourism is a real-life phenomenon experienced by destinations. Overtourism is defined as many tourists visiting a particular place simultaneously which has resulted in the falling or unacceptable quality of life. It is just the opposite of wellness tourism, a better place to live and a better place to visit. The term overtourism was first used on Twitter as #overtourism back in August 2012. In 2017 UNWTO ministers addressed overtourism at the World Travel Market. In the last few years, there have been anti-tourism movements in popular destinations such as Barcelona, Santorini and Copenhagen. These movements' main aim is the attention of press attraction and have led to different proposed actions by tourism decision-makers in making a policy to control overtourism. In recent years overtourism has become an important and discussed issue in media and academia. In this context, the term is still not widely defined and open to numerous discussions. This chapter aims to clarify the root causes of overtourism, the emergence of overtourism and how social media is responsible for and impacts overtourism. The methodology of this chapter is a general review literature of overtourism issues. The chapter states that the government poorly managed without a bigger political force and genuine knowledge of the government's difficulty and action are taking first in the tourism industry. This chapter identifies the social movement of overtourism raised by residents.

Researchers have extensively investigated the relationship between employees’ well-being and their financial stress. The state of one’s finances can have an impact on them both directly and indirectly, depending on their organisation and employer. Employees’ job performance will be affected by their level of financial well-being, whether it is high or low. This study’s primary goal is to examine and objectively assess the employee of the tourism industry in India’s financial well-being (FWB). The analysis included 190 respondents from the travel and tourism sector. The instrument for this study was a questionnaire based on descriptive statistics and inferential statistics of one-way ANOVA and correlation analysis. Financial stress and financial well-being were significantly inversely correlated among the employee of tourism industries in India according to Pearson correlation analysis. The study’s findings showed that there was a significant difference between the financial well-being and demographic status of tourism industries employee. The results of this study, which relied on primary data could help the government develop policies to encourage greater and better financial well-being among participants in the tourism business.
