Inland Territorial and Tourism Resilience in a Polarized World
Globalization today is characterized by territorial polarization resulting from unequal geographical development (urban vs. rural spaces and coastal vs. inland areas) or from spatial segregation by reason of social class, ethnicity or gender, among others.

| Resumo: | Globalization today is characterized by territorial polarization resulting from unequal geographical development (urban vs. rural spaces and coastal vs. inland areas) or from spatial segregation by reason of social class, ethnicity or gender, among others. The diverse problems lead to different diagnoses and alternative proposals: from degrowth in saturated spaces to the contribution of resilience for inland spaces as well as for impoverished countries. This paper provides a theoretical and empirical reflection on tourism scenarios and alternatives in territories made disparate by unequal geographical development and are thus experiencing conditions of undertourism. Our results reveal, on the one hand, alternatives such as degrowth in scenarios that suffer from overtourism and, on the other, demands for new development opportunities that also favor resilience over the abandonment of disadvantaged spaces. Socio-territorial resilience is a specific, two-fold response to undertourism: it demands degrowth in saturated destinations while stimulating tourism activity in spaces that need it. |
