Slow tourism, una oportunitat per a la transformació del turisme?

Abstract

This essay-style article, aims to clarify some of the concepts with which the slow movement is expressed in the field of tourism, as well as to introduce some of the debates it has generated: the potentialities of its association with a process of revaluation of local gastronomy, the motivations of the slow tourist and, finally, the opportunities, but also contradictions and limitations of a proposal of this type to transform tourism in an emancipatory sense.
