摘要	The global sustainability challenges are constantly growing, to which the tourism sector also strongly contributes. After the COVID-19 pandemic, the sector has shown signs of recovery, so the sustainability challenges could also increase more. The negative environmental effects of overtourism must be mitigated. According to experts, circular economy and its sub-fields could solve the problem. This article examines industrial symbiosis, a sub-field of circular economy. Originally in symbiotic relationships, the stakeholders come mainly from companies, but as the concept has evolved, the importance of other stakeholders has also been highlighted. The research describes and categorizes existing connections between these stakeholders in the tourism sector. The authors combine a systematic literature review with a comprehensive search for existing good practices and their categorized presentation with the introduction of a leading example in the field. The results highlight that the connection between industrial symbiosis and the tourism sector is present and could offer a possible solution to the sector’s problems by promoting collaboration, waste regeneration and resource efficiency. These activities could be especially vital in easing the environmental consequences of overtourism. This article extends the available literature on the topic, draws stakeholders’ attention to the potential of the concept, and encourages the international academic community to expand related research.
