Rémy Knafou, auteur de Réinventer (vraimentà le tourisme) est une géologue de référence en France, mais également à l'international. Pour preuve, son dernier livre et ses propos sont cités dans The Independant :

So why has Italy been particularly badly affected by naughty tourists? French geographer Rémy Knafou, who wrote a book on overtourism titled Réinventer (Vraiment) le Tourisme, says that it’s simply a numbers game. “It makes sense that with the number of tourists increasing, incidents of bad behaviour are increasing as well. In all honesty, I’m surprised by how few cases of damaged property there are, considering the high tourist numbers.” And Italy is having a bumper year when it comes to tourism: the country’s national tourism agency reported in June that almost two million visitors were expected to come to Italy over the summer period, 84 per cent of whom are foreign. Bookings outperformed the last pre-Covid year, 2019, and numbers of international arrivals in the first quarter of 2023 far outstripped 2022, spiking by 86 per cent.
