Sustainable development, tourism and territory. Previous elements towards a systemic approach

Journal Title: ESSACHESS - Journal for Communication Studies - Year 2009, Vol 2, Issue 2

Abstract

Today, tourism is one of the major challenges for many countries and territories. The balance of payments, an ever-increasing number of visitors and the significant development of the tourism offer clearly illustrate the booming trend in this sector. This macro-economic approach is often used by the organizations in charge of tourism, WTO for instance. Quantitative assessments which consider the satisfaction of customers’ needs as an end in itself have prevailed both in tourism development schemes and in prospective approaches since the sixties.
