Este capítulo aborda el sobreturismo como un medio para analizar los impactos y límites del desarrollo turístico capitalista tardío en las áreas naturales protegidas de las Islas Galápagos y sus alrededores. El análisis de contenido cualitativo apunta hacia tres temas emergentes: (i) rápida diversificación de la economía turística terrestre de las Galápagos; (ii) ambivalencia política hacia la gobernanza del crecimiento del turismo y la lógica de la conservación; y (iii) cambios radicales en los patrones de representación en línea de las Galápagos como destino turístico que ocurren a través de la marca y la publicidad. Finalmente, se abre una discusión sobre los resultados previsibles de las narrativas de saturación turística implantadas mucho más allá de las localidades metropolitanas y los puntos calientes del turismo urbano europeo.
