Muhtasari	The Overtourism Perception Scale (OPS) measures residents' and visitors' concerns about excessive tourism, measuring crowding, environmental degradation, cultural erosion, infrastructure strain, and resulting experience quality diminishment. Rooted in carrying capacity theory (Shelby & Heberlein, 1986) and resident impact perception research (Andereck et al., 2005), the OPS operationalizes overtourism as a multifaceted phenomenon affecting both visitor experience satisfaction and community wellbeing. Overtourism is increasingly critical for destination sustainability; the OPS enables monitoring of perception trends and targeting of mitigation strategies (visitor dispersal, infrastructure investment, capacity management) before crises (resident backlash, environmental damage, reputation loss) occur.	The Tourist Loyalty Scale (TLS) measures the extent to which visitors intend to return to a destination and recommend it to others, reflecting behavioral commitment and preference relative to competing destinations. Developed by Oppermann (2000) and refined across multiple tourism contexts, the TLS captures the ultimate outcome of satisfaction and destination image—willingness to invest time and money in repeat visitation and endorsement. As the true measure of competitive advantage in tourism, loyalty drives revenue stability, positive reputation, and ecosystem resilience.
