Summary
Tourism on the Camino Francés, one of the most popular routes of the UNESCO-listed Routes of Santiago de Compostela, significantly impacts its cultural identity. While it boosts international recognition, overcrowding threatens its traditional character. A qualitative study involving 11 experts analyzed these effects, revealing that despite the route's historical and touristic significance, unchecked tourism risks eroding its unique heritage. The research highlights the need for balanced tourism management to preserve the Camino Francés' cultural integrity while sustaining its global appeal.
