Abstract ：
This study examines the impact on tourist areas affected by overtourism, and possible ways to mitigate its effects. The concentration of tourists in certain areas of many countries has a negative impact on regional residents and the local environment. The same is true of well-known tourist destinations in Japan. Therefore, methods for controlling the number of tourists, such as the institution of tourism taxes are examined here. We present estimates of the tourism demand function, and over tourism-related price variables in Kyoto City. Furthermore, the economic spillover effects of day-trippers, domestic overnight guests and international overnight guests in Kyoto were analysed. Based on the results, recommendations for Kyoto's tourism policy were summarised.

Keywords: Overtourism, Impacts of Tourism, Carrying Capacity, Destination Management, Dynamic panel data model.
