Turismo e Lugares: uma visão geográfica
Abstract
If the last decades of the 20th century consolidated and globalised the tourism phenomenon, on the other have created new tourists and new routes, where the connection to the territory changes. This paper examines, through a geographic perspective, the importance of place for tourism. The authors used as a methodological support a literature review, using some practical examples. It is intended to show how the new tourist practices captivate new publics, reinvent the territories, where the place takes on new meanings: by singularity; by identity; by affective link and how it is lived.
