Del espacio geográfico al turismo como uso y disfrute del territorio comarcal: una reflexión teórica desde España

Abstract

The current crisis obliges us to rethink the situation at the different scales of geographic space, without forgetting the space-time relationship. Nowadays, a topic of great geographic interest is tourism. The interest is two-fold: 1) due to the fact that territory has become a resource and a factor at the same time, and 2) because it is an sector that is clearly competitive. For these reasons, this analysis will be developed starting from the evolution of the literary landscape, beginning with travel books and touristic precedent, and continuing with and analysis of tourism spaces in Spain, with the aim of fomenting touristic interest in territorial or local heritage.
