**5.2. Real carrying capacity (RCC)**

The RCC was determined using equation

RCC PCC (Cf1 Cf 2 Cf 3 Cfn) = ´ ´´ K

where RCC = real carrying capacity; PCC = physical carrying capacity.

Cf1…Cfn = correction factors. The correction factors were determined using the equation

$$\text{Cf} \mathbf{\dot{x}} = \mathbf{l} - \text{Lmx} \;/\,\text{Tm} \mathbf{x}.$$

where Cfx = correction factor of variable x, Lmx = limiting magnitude of variable x,

Tmx totalmagnitudeof variable x. =

The correction factors are obtained by considering the biophysical, environmental, ecological, social, and management variables. Tourism is dependent on nature, so some variables are considered as correction factors for this study which include rainfall, sunshine, strong winds, cyclone, and beach quality. These factors limit the tourism activities and measurement of the sustainability level of a tourist destination [9, 39]. Therefore, correction factors are also known as limiting factors of tourism. Calculations of correction factors for different limiting variables are described below.
