Abstract This paper considers the limits of self‐regulation in the pursuit of sustainable tourism. There is evidence of considerable good practice brought about by self‐regulation in many parts of Europe, and this is illustrated by the example of the Alps. However, even a consideration of the traditional division between individual and social costs indicates the limitations to self‐regulation. The main emphasis of the paper is on exploring how regulation theory can deepen our appreciation of the constraints on self‐regulation. Résumé: Durabilité et auto‐régulation: Perspectives critiques Cet article traite des limites de l'auto‐régulation en vue du tourisme durable. De nombreux cas témoignent d'une bonne pratique en matière d'autorégulation à travers l'Europe, comme le démontre l'exemple des Alpes. Cependant, même une analyse de l'opposition traditionnelle qui existe entre coûts individuels et coûts sociaux montre les limites du processus d'auto‐régulation. Le présent article souligne notamment comment la théorie de régulation peut nous aider à mieux appréhender les contraintes qui pèsent sur l'auto‐régulation.
