Abstract

At the beginning of the XXI century, it has started to record a series of tendencies in the Spanish touristic sector, through the reduction of tourism participating in GNP, including the contribution of international tourism. This change of demand and offer from the last decade is coinciding with a scenario where the touristic offer is marked more and more by the accelerated process of urbanizing from the Mediterranean, Baleares and Canaries area. The natural and cultural environment quality is the main attraction of this area. The itineraries wish to offer an exclusive alternative to the locals, valuing the touristic potential of the regions and to offer new touristic products.
