Evolución y etapas del desarrollo turístico en la provincia de córdoba, Argentina: ¿cuán lejos está el ideal del turismo sustentable?

Abstract

This paper analyzes the current situation of the tourism sector in the province of Cordoba, Argentina. Various models of development stages are used as a reference framework. First, it is argued that the current phase of development significantly affects the future evolution of the sector, especially regarding its ability to achieve sustainable tourism. Second, it is shown that, despite the sustained growth experienced by tourism activity in Cordoba during the last decade, there are numerous signs consistent with this activity still being in an extractive phase of development.
