The main objective of this course is to reflect and deepen on the new urban tourism dynamics and analyze the negative impacts they are generating in cities, as well as the possible solutions to be implemented to reconcile tourism with the maintenance of the quality of life of residents and the environment.

The physical mobility section of the BIP will take place between 25-29 May 2026, in Madrid, Spain, and will consist of:

• field trip: students will spend 5 days studying presently different cases connected with the topic of the course (40 hours approximately);
• self-working time: students will have a specific number of self-working time to develop a final project (15 hours approximately);
• projects presentations: student will present their project to debate the proposals among the rest of students and teaching staff (5 hours approximately).

The virtual part will be running from between 27 March - 22 May 2026 and will consist of a series of webinars given by the participating professors.

The objective of these seminars is for the students to obtain the necessary theoretical knowledge about the general topic of the course, which then apply to solve a specific problem in Madrid, during the physical component of the course.

Thus, the virtual part is meant to make students understand the concept of "overtourism" and the new tourism dynamics through theoretical webinars and field trip.
