| Sumario: | Mallorca, an international laboratory of mass tourism and mature coastal destinations development over the past 60 years, tourism has evolved from being an activity for the higher class to be part of the society's basic needs through the progressive democratization of leisure time. Nowadays, tourism continues with a steady process of growth, which means that if 1,100 million of international tourists were recorded in 2014, these are expected to be 1,800 million in 2030. Among its different forms, coastal tourism is the most common, presenting the most recognizable tourism spaces through cities created specifically to satisfy the needs of the tourist use of society. Coastal tourism generates the bulk of international tourism flows; therefore the coast becomes the main destination in many countries. In this sense, the Mediterranean is the world's first tourist region, as it receives nearly a third of the international tourism, where Spain and ltaly account for 70% of international and domestic tourism being hosted. Within this context, the case study of Mallorca is one of the most paradigmatic testing grounds for global mass tourism . This research has as main objectives to understand how mass tourism coastal destinations have been conceived. Find out which have been the reasons for some tourist areas become mature destinations. And what have led them to be developed in this way. Thus, it’s aimed to comprehend the urban-regional forms and processes through which mass tourism has appeared on the Coast of Mallorca lsland, as well as recognize those patterns, which could allow enhancing coastal tourist area. Mallorca's coastal tourist area has normally been related to global mass destinations based on the single product of sun-and-beach. Nevertheless, the present study intends to demonstrate how some own specificities of the tourism development experienced on the island lie implicit, albeit not evident, on the costal tourist area characterized by a wide and rich variety of spatial values. lts recognition leads to some of the key points to rethink these areas. The decoding of the territorial transformation processes is analyzed from different scales: First, from the understanding of the predominant accommodation typology evolution in each stage related to the socio-economic dynamics of the moment. Second, based on the recognition of the morphological characteristics of the different tourist settlement tissues and their location strategies in relation to the characteristics of the place, to the occupied form,as well as from the construction of its infrastructure . The central part of the research introduces a new component of the tourist space, as it's the recognition of tourist areas with more advanced maturation process. On the one hand, it is analyzed the process of transformation experienced by certain tourist settlement tissues from the evolution of their morphological characteristics. Furthermore, the territorial scale of this phenomenon is comprised by analyzing the location patterns of each of its parts, as well as its relationship with the territory, in order to understand the type of resulting conurbation: the tourist-regional system |
