Sumario:Since the second half of the last century, tourism has gained weight between the productive activities of countries and regions worldwide. Although traditionally economic growth has been identified with the expansion of the industry, in the last decades of the twentieth century tourism was consolidated as another productive sector, capable of generating employment and income. The characteristics of this activity allow it to develop, with more or less intensity and success, in areas excluded from the expansion of industrial activity. Moreover, it has become an opportunity for areas hit by deindustrialization and a complementary activity to rural areas and those at risk of depopulation.
