ABSTRACT Overtourism is often seen as a modern phenomenon without a history. Drawing on the parliamentary proceedings of the Belgian Chamber of representatives, this paper explores how concerns about crowding and carrying capacity already fuelled a protracted parliamentary debate about camping in Les Trente Glorieuses (1945–’75). Even though ‘tent cloth vacationing’ was seen as an important tool to democratise tourism, it was not always applauded in the Belgian hemicycle. Urged by the powerful lobby of hotel and restaurant owners, conservative representatives emphasised the many inconveniences of camping – zeroing in on the loose morals, the bad hygiene, the lack of environmental planning, the ecological threats – and pressed for more regulation. At the same time, these arguments were unmasked by social democrats as a smoke screen to curb the ‘unruly’ proliferation of campsites. In Belgium, the debate was deeply influenced by the limited carrying capacity of the North Sea coast. With barely 40 miles of coastline, Belgium was short of natural resources. It fuelled a policy whereby priority was given to hotels and holiday homes, while camping was curbed or left to its own devices.

不需要露营者:比利时的特伦特格洛里厄斯(Trente Glorieuses,1945-'75)的大众旅游和“帐篷布度假”的劝阻
摘要 过度旅游通常被视为一种没有历史的现代现象。本文借鉴比利时众议院的议会程序,探讨了对拥挤和承载能力的担忧如何引发了一场旷日持久的关于 Les Trente Glorieuses (1945–'75) 露营的议会辩论。尽管“帐篷布度假”被视为实现旅游业民主化的重要工具,但它并不总是在比利时半周期中受到称赞。在酒店和餐馆老板强大的游说团体的敦促下,保守派代表强调了露营的诸多不便——将注意力集中在松散的道德、糟糕的卫生、缺乏环境规划、生态威胁——并敦促加强监管。同时,这些论点被社会民主党揭露为抑制露营地“不守规矩”扩散的烟幕。在比利时,北海沿岸的承载能力有限,这一争论深受影响。由于海岸线只有 40 英里,比利时缺乏自然资源。它推动了一项政策,即优先考虑酒店和度假屋,而露营则受到限制或留给自己的设备。
