This paper introduces the monographic part of the journal; the rise of urban tourism is stressed as well as the co-existence of opportunity and risk in its numerous forms. Tourism is a strategy of regeneration and growth for many cities, but it’s also a sector with a strong social and environmental impact. A possible solution is the increasing attention to territorial and environmental resources as a way to preserve city appeal and mitigate the negative impact of tourism.
