Local Tourist Systems in Spain

Abstract

The enormous potential of tourism as the economic sector in this millennium and, on the other
hand, the onset of the international competition that accompanies the globalization of tourism
and its forms of product segmentation, mean that the EU grants tourism an important role in the
realization of that all-European economic and social model drawn to Lisbon. This clearly shows
that global competition is increasingly playing on the ability to offer a single service in its
complexity. In the panorama of the different forms of state, Spain is today a singular case.
