Tourism in Spain

By M. Barke

Spain is one of the world's main tourism destinations and tourism makes a major contribution to the Spanish economy. During the past thirty years, Spanish tourism has been a microcosm of many of the key issues facing tourism industries. Thus it was a prime example of the rush to mass tourism and tourism development in the 1960s and 1970s, but more recently faced a recession as a new generation of tourists sought new tourism experiences. Spanish tourism is therefore now looking increasingly to alternatives to mass beach tourism, particularly to cultural, urban and ecotourism. This book provides a review and critical analysis of tourism in Spain. Written by authors from the UK, Spain and USA, it shows how Spanish tourism illustrates many of the topical themes currently of concern to tourism academics and professionals. It provides a useful supplementary text for tourism courses, and is also relevant to others such as geographers and economists.
