There are methodologies that seek to know the tourism potential of the territory. However, their use has been very scarce and consequently, tourism plans lack a real vision of the possibility of developing tourism. In the case of Extremadura, Spain, a specific methodology has been proposed that considers types and subtypes of variables, both in terms of heritage and tourism facilities. In addition, these variables are ranked in five classes, and their importance is weighted according to the opinion of the demand. The results offer a global vision of the potential, coinciding with the area determined by official organizations in the country, but also facilitate the specific study of specific tourism sub-types. They also show that there is not always a clear relationship between the attractiveness of the environment and tourist facilities. It is concluded that it is important to bet on these evaluation methodologies to enhance the knowledge of any territory to determine its capacity to develop tourism. On the other hand, it helps tourism plans to be applied in the territory to consider the potential of each municipality to promote tourism.

The paper reveals opportunities and limitations of tourism development in one of the most inaccessible areas in the mountains of Southern Siberia: Todzhinsky kozhuun, Republic of Tyva, RF. Taking into account key indicators that reflect the natural, historical, cultural, and socio-economic characteristics of the territory, using GIS technologies, a comprehensive assessment and mapping of the tourism and recreational potential (TRP) of the territory was carried out. The method of multicomponent scoring was used in this work. Consequentially, the study area was divided by means of a regular hexagonal network into many operational territorial cells; for each of those, the sum of scores was calculated according to the conditions and objects that are localized within its boundaries. The set of operational territorial cells filled with visual information made it possible to create an assessment map of the tourism and recreational potential of the Todzhinsky kozhuun territory. This map highlights the areas of the five value ranks, from the highest to the lowest. The areas with the highest scores are obviously the most suitable for the development of tourism industry. In general, the basis of the region’s TRP is picturesque virgin natural landscapes with many large lakes, unique traditional ethnocultural landscapes of the mountain–taiga reindeer herders, biological resources for hunting and fishing, and healing mineral springs (arzhany). The key limiting factor in the development of tourism is the underdeveloped transportation system and the insufficiency of special tourism infrastructure facilities. Such an assessment made it possible to identify territories favorable for the creation of three specialized tourist clusters: ethnocultural tourism, “Reindeer herders of Todzhi”; water, ecological, and fishing tourism, “Todzha Lakes”; and mountain and sports tourism, “Big Sayan”.

“…For instance, Smith (1987), drawing on country-level data, analyzes four basic tourism regions, including urban fringe tourism. Other studies include Wall and Sinnott's (1980) account of recreational facilities as attractions; Boyer (1980) on the evolution of second homes in suburbs for recreational purposes; and Vedenin (1982) on changes in recreational systems. Mullins (1991) further suggests that tourist cities represent an extraordinary form of urbanization, in which cities are built solely for consumption.…”

Handbook on Tourism Planning

When Dr. Clare A. Gunn published the first edition of Tourism Planning in 1979, he vividly recalled family trips in a brand-new Model T Ford across the United States in 1921. This early exposure to the land of travel has "predestined a career in the field of planning for better tourism development." A hundred years later, Gunn's influential book and its vision for tourism planning embark on a new era. Tourism development involves the movement of people through time and space, either between their home and destinations or within destination areas. Typically, tourism has a positive effect on the development of culture and entertainment, thus becoming a progressive ethic and formation of experience societies (Rifkin 2011). The desire to understand the temporospatial interactions of tourists within a destination and the movement of tourists between destinations has played a critical role in the developing investigation of the phenomenon of tourism (McKercher and Lew 2004). Simply put, tourism planning is not a simple process of destination marketing, but it increasingly stretches disciplinary boundaries, imbued with contested layers of stakeholders' interests, at whichever level the planning process is being carried out. Planning for tourism has become an important tool to maximize economic returns to the destination and minimize potential negative impacts.The growing attention to tourism in recent decades is largely attributed to the pursuit of genius loci: a "sense of place" or "spatial spirit" (Karimi 2000) developing from the spatial reordering of the world. The concept of the cultural turn is rooted in an ideological paradigm viewing tourism as the dynamic motor of the economy. Tourism is heavily implicated in what Barnes (2001: 558) labels the "new economic geography," which "emphasizes above all the social and especially the cultural character of the economy." Tourists consume goods and services that are in some sense "out of the ordinary," where the viewing of tourist sites and places can generate "a much greater sensitivity to visual elements of landscape or townscape than is normally found in everyday life" (Urry and Larsen 2011: 3). On the other hand, Walter (1988) implicitly applies genius loci to a study of the "expressive intelligibility" of places, e.g., a quality that can be perceived only holistically through the senses, memory, intellect, and imagination. Like Tuan's (1977) view of space as the embodiment of the feelings, images, and thoughts of those who live, work, or otherwise deal with that space, tourism connects spatial change with tourists' perception of genius loci. This is especially so when a place's various publics have been steeped in economic, cultural, and sociopolitical changes, and where landscape is revitalized for tourism.The essence of planning is underpinned by Enlightenment values that support rationality, universalism, and scientism (Allemendinger 2009). Postmodernity drives planning practices and fosters a belief that planning has the power to shape the way people live. Touris...
