Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the significant effects of the seventies oil crisis and the end of the Golden Age in Western economies at a time when Spain had the political transition process to democracy. These brought about: negative annual rates of change in national and international tourist supply and demand for the first time since 1946, serious capitalization problems in the hotel sector and a tourism policy applied by public authorities, which was influenced by and largely continued the institutional changes brought by the Constitution passed in 1978.
