• Resumen

  • To evaluate if wayfinding can be considered as an innovative practice in the prevention of overtourism, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was used at first. This stage intended to map, characterize and synthesize documents published in the Scopus database that approached innovation, tourism and wayfinding. The reduced number of publications found, together with the results of these studies that indicated the use of wayfinding as a corrective strategy to problems related to tourism activity, allowed to suggest its application as an innovative practice in the prevention of overtourism.
