Socioeconomic and environmental impacts of tourism in Spain
Abstract
In the sixties, tourism consolidated in the Spanish territory, becoming a determining activity for the economy of Spain, so much so that the positive impacts of tourism are reflected in economic factors as decisive as the Gross Domestic Product and the balance of payments. Similarly, tourism manages to positively influence the creation of employment and the defense of cultural heritage. Despite these remarkable phenomena, the repercussions of tourism have not been only positive, since part of our cities and coasts have suffered major urban problems, infrastructure, pollution and degradation, issues that we will study in this research.
