In this way, it has built a new model global tourism consistent with the stage of development of current capitalism, in which living forms which dominated the global tourism system that has been set from the 50's to the 80's of the 20th century, with other different forms of organization, marketing and consumption of tourism and other spatial logics of presence of tourist activities in the territory. This new and complex tourist model has expressed a remarkable capacity of adaptation, based, above all, that develops inside a “permanent reinvention” of new products and the “sale” of new tourist territories accompanied by new motivations and structures, and by increasingly diverse commercial and business dynamics.
