El presente artículo de reflexión pretende considerar al territorio del Parque Nacional Natural El Cocuy como un espacio de construcción social, generado por el desarrollo del turismo en un área ...protegida que es administrada por el Sistema de Parques Nacionales Naturales de Colombia. En el territorio se presentan intereses de diferentes actores, que son influenciados por el modelo de gestión ambiental, el campo cultural y el turismo como práctica para la conservación de la biodiversidad.
Geography is not a science at the service of market forces planning and therefore in their view towards tourism, geographers must be very analytical so as not to get carried away by the false ...arguments that its promoters easily repeat. This essay examines the notion of landscape that has been the central axis on which this complex set of economic activities act, with the aim of turning it into a commodity that is offered to satisfy the changing notions of rest and distinctive pleasure.

Sandstone rocks are a popular destination for trips in the Czech Republic. However, over the past 20 years, the number of tourists visiting the best-known and most beautiful locations has multiplied, ...leading to their deterioration and reduced comfort for both tourists and locals. Queues on hiking trails, a lot of garbage, excrements, signs of vandalism and omnipresent noise are now part of the visits to these idyllic natural sceneries. Impacts on fauna, flora and rocks themselves are often devastating, although they are nature reserves with the highest degree of protection. The paper presents the three most visited sandstone rocks destinations in the Czech Republic: Bohemian Switzerland, Bohemian Paradise and Adršpach Rocks, describes the current situation with the attendance of these localities and the structure of visitors. Subsequently, the results of a public opinion survey conducted in 2019 between visitors of these three areas and locals are discussed. The results show that the local people's opinion of tourists is very critical; most residents would like to reduce their numbers as their presence negatively affects the daily life of their residence. Some residents even try to be away from home in the main tourist season to escape this rush. Tourists are also aware of the many negatives that overtourism brings: some would like to regulate the number of visitors, while others see the cause in a poor destination and visitor management. The priorities of tourists and locals are then compared with the current management programme of these sites and the greatest drawbacks are highlighted. The results show that although many regional actors are aware of the negative effects of overtourism, they have no useful strategy to deal with these problems except for nature conservation authorities. Although the negative effects are most perceived by local residents, municipal representatives are usually helpless. The conclusion outlines possible strategies for reducing the negative effects of overtourism on these nature reserves.
Ordinary practices at school present an enchanted vision of tourist areas, often reduced to seaside tourism practiced in a few small islands around the world and organized around luxurious ...facilities. This vision, however, can be complicated by accompanying this geography of tourism from a geography through tourism. The postcard image then gives way to the implementation of a geographical reasoning, mobilizing actors, scales and spatial dynamics.
This paper aims to emphasize the history of the geographical tertiary education system in the Baia Mare Municipality (1998-2018), looking into „the transformations” of the Geography specialisation, ...specifically the evolution of enrolled students and graduates, the annual staff dynamics, as well as a synthesis of its educational and scientific achievements, ending with a presentation of its infrastructure. The 1998-1999 academic year corresponds with the accreditation of the first two specialisations of the Baia Mare Branch, one of them being History-Geography, long-term studies (4 years) in Romanian, part of the Faculty of Human-Christian Sciences, from „Vasile Goldiș” University Arad. The purpose of said specialisation was to provide competent teachers for the schools of Maramureș and the surrounding counties, preparing seven series of graduates (25 in 2002 and 40 in 2008), a total number of 601 students, reaching its peak (126) in 2004-2005. The fall of 2005 is the first significant moment in the history of Baia Mare Geography, as the Faculty of Natural Sciences was established and the History-Geography specialisation was transformed into the Geography Section, short-term day studies (3 years). It did not last long however, having only one series of graduates (12 in 2008 of a total of 18 enrolled students in 2005-2006). A year later, a new change occured, when a new specialisation was established, named Geography of Tourism, still operating to this day. In its 12 years of existence, it was first part of the Faculty of Nature Sciences, Engineering and Informatics (2011), Biology, Ecology and Geography Department, then part of the Faculty of Economic Sciences, Informatics and Engineering, without its own departament. It is currently part of the Engineering and Informatics Department. Of the total 1,770 students, who studied one of the three geographical specialisations during 1998-2018, the number of graduates (between 2002-2018) was 447 (25.2%), 256 studying Geography of Tourism (57.2%), 179 History-Geography (40%) and 12 Geography (2.8%). In terms of length, long-term studies (History-Geography) holds 44.8% (793 students) of the 1,770 students, while short-term studies (Geography, Geography of Tourism) reaches 55.2% (977 students, 43 at Geography and 934 at Geography of Tourism). The second major component that the paper aims to present is the educational and scientific staff, by carefully presenting the achievements for each member of „Vasile Goldiș” University of Arad.
Les pratiques ordinaires en classe de géographie présentent une vision enchantée des espaces touristiques, bien souvent réduits à un tourisme balnéaire pratiqué dans quelques îlots du monde et ...organisé autour d’aménagements luxueux. Cette vision peut cependant être complexifiée, en accompagnant cette géographie scolaire du tourisme d’une géographie par le tourisme, et s’appuyant sur l’expérience spatiale des élèves. La « cartepostalisation » du monde fait alors place, via une géographie expérientielle, à la mise en œuvre d’un raisonnement géographique, mobilisant acteurs, échelles et dynamiques spatiales.

Las Tecnologías de la Información Geográfica (TIG) son una herramienta con un gran potencial en el análisis espacial. Ante múltiples y complejos problemas territoriales, su capacidad permite dar una ...respuesta, siempre que su uso se plantee e implemente de forma adecuada. Así, la geografía del turismo, desde su punto de vista territorial, puede hacer uso de esta tecnología en el análisis de su dimensión territorial. La información georeferenciada (geoinformación) permite incorporar una nueva variable al análisis del turismo. La dimensión espacial incorpora valores que enriquecen el análisis y permiten obtener resultados más completos del dinamismo territorial del fenómeno turístico, así como sus impactos territoriales. Este trabajo hace una aproximación a la aplicación de las TIG en el análisis territorial del turismo, tomando como ejemplo el contexto del tercer boom turístico de Canarias (España), con el fin de concretar y explicar sus efectos en el territorio.
El turismo es visto por algunos actores sociales como una actividad que impulsa el crecimiento económico; sin embargo, se desconoce que además es un fenómeno capaz de transformar el territorio. El ...objetivo de este artículo es analizar la incidencia de los imaginarios turísticos en la transformación territorial de Santa Fe de Antioquia. La metodología utilizada es cualitativa, a partir de entrevistas, recorridos por el municipio y el análisis de fotografías e imágenes sobre el turismo, con el fin de indagar la presencia de un “territorio de postal”, concepto propuesto para identificar los efectos territoriales del turismo.
