Propuesta metodológica para la caracterización territorial delturismo a escala local

Abstract

There is growing interest in the territory as a strategic factor of local development. This interest is particularly evident in the field of tourism, whose development depends largely on the availability of resources based on the attributes of the territory. The characteristics of these resources allow the identification of different tourist areas, structured territorially, which are used for the formulation of policy proposals on tourism. This paper proposes a methodology for identifying the types of tourism resources, in this case applied to Andalusia, as a step towards characterizing its tourist towns based on these resources.
