Theoretical and Methodological Model for the Study of Social Perception of the Impact of Industrial Tourism on Local Development

Abstract: Tourism is considered to be an engine for socioeconomic development and a tool to alleviate the problems of different regions and, specifically, of industrial zones. Furthermore, from this standpoint, industrial tourism tries to harness any potential cultural interest that visitors may have in industrial heritage. Using this as a starting point, the general objective of this research is to analyse industrial tourism’s contribution to local development in four case studies that form part of the industrial touri… Show more

“…Geotourism itself can benefit from such a complex exploitation of the hydrocarbon-related geoheritage resource. Recently, when geotourism activities have started to rise globally [4,54], industrial tourism has proved a well-established direction of tourism, and its attractions are really popular [58][59][60][61][62][63][64]. As a result, it is industrial heritage that can attract visitors and facilitate their involvement in geotourism activities.…”

In addition, tourism is perceived as an instrument for financing the rehabilitation and conservation of the IMH [9,18,28], which justifies the recovery processes [8], and the (re)valuation of local identity and the landscape [30]. This process shows the interdependence between heritage management and tourism development [31][32][33] since it frequently seems that "the development or "creation" of a heritage tourism attraction is a last resort and sometimes the only possible solution" [6] (p. 345).…”
