Descripción
Sumario:The symbiosis between motorhome tourism and cycle tourism on the rail trails is not reflected in the development strategies to promote these old railway infrastructures. The project “New models of intermodal mobility and tourist use of Andalusian rail trails: application of an explanatory, predictive and spatial methodology”, uses GIS tools and web-scrapping as an essential resource to obtain results. This paper shows results from the use of these two techniques to highlight a relationship that is ignored by the planners of the promotion strategies that have been implemented in the last twenty years about the rail trails in Andalusia. The results, based on the analysis of the primary information prepared by the authors, demonstrate that the symbiosis has occurred spontaneously without any prior planning. This paper presents also a necessary conceptualization to identify the elements that participate in this symbiosis and to develop the GIS model for further analysis. The project is financed by the Department of Economy Knowledge, Business and Universities of the Government of Andalusia.
