“…Analyzing and scientific work that presented the “space” as the dominant interpretation for urban hospitality (Table II), it is possible to systematize them into three broad interpretations already made by Grinover (2003, 2006, 2007): readability, accessibility and identity. It should be noted that these categories are generalizing, for example, accessibility is included in mobility studies (Bridi et al , 2018; Yang et al , 2017; Allis and Fraga, 2016); and identity may have as its object of study the image of destiny, even if such image comes from a physical tourist city space.…”

Purpose This study began with the following question: how hospitality concepts have contributed to the quality of cities and to the qualification of urban tourist destinations. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the historical evolution of the concepts of hospitality and their implications in the contemporary concept of the hospitality of the built space. Design/methodology/approach In this study an analytical empirical approach was used, focusing on the concepts and paradigms that support the studies of the hospitality of built space. The method was based on the representation of hospitality as spatial reading indexes according to the categories of analysis: identity, accessibility, and readability, as stated by Grinover (2007), Raymond (1997) and Lynch (1997). The empirical study, in the Brazilian context, took as its object of analysis the urban hospitality of the three cities that were capitals of Brazil throughout its history: Salvador da Bahia, Rio de Janeiro and Brasília. Findings The results of the research confirm the pertinence of the categories of analysis proposed for the understanding of hospitality of the built space and proposes other categories of analysis related to accessibility in its interfaces with identity and readability. Practical implications This study can contribute with new understandings in the field of the hospitality of the built space as support to public managers and trade tourist managers that can give quality to the urban space for tourists, and for the citizens as well. Because, in the Brazilian context, the formulation of public policies for public transport services, mobility, accessibility and recreation areas are linked to public managers; in the same way that private initiatives and incentives for leisure, entertainment, and tourism are linked to the managers of the tourist trade. Originality/value New possibilities of the understanding of urban hospitality in tourist destinations by the categories of analysis listed – identity, readability and accessibility. Accessibility was the spatial condition that most needed attention as urban hospitality in the Brazilian tourist destinations studied. Otherwise, a contribution was made to the area of study in urban hospitality, given the scarcity of scientific literature on the subject.

“…Thus, for example, Allis and Fraga (2016) saw the need for research that relates the spatial category of urban mobility with urban hospitality in tourist destination cities. Similarly, Bridi et al (2018) studied urban hospitality variables with spatial categories of urban mobility in Porto Alegre (Brazil) and Boston (USA).…”
