sobreturismo: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que "sobreturismo" es un neologismo válido en español y su empleo es preferible a la voz inglesa "overtourism". [...] En español, la alternativa más adecuada es emplear la voz sobreturismo, con cierto uso y bien formada a partir del elemento compositivo sobre-, que indica "intensificación o exceso", y el sustantivo turismo. De acuerdo con las normas generales de los prefijos, lo adecuado es escribir este término en una sola palabra, sin espacio ni guion. 1, record 1, Spanish, - sobreturismo
