Descrição
Resumo:[EN] Every Autonomous Community in Spain has promoted nature tourism and rural tourism in villages as an economic solution that could replace traditional agro-livestock activities and halt emigration bleeding. However, the data analysis shows that many of these places have barely sparked the interest of potential visitors and that the return on investment is at least questionable. This chapter analyses the tourist supply and demand of Empty Spain, taking into account the sustainability in the process of transformation into a tourist destination and the territorial resilience of the abandoned places, underlining in this sense the strong ties of the former inhabitants, many times manifested in the so-called emigrant tourism.
