The residential segments and inhabitants were not provided a share of the tourism-related income and despite the steady growth of visitor numbers they were not consulted either. With the overtourism phenomenon on the destination life-cycle (Butler 2008) the consolidation phase is in an over developed state, but not stepping into stagnation.
