Des temporalités de la production aux temporalités de la consommation

Abstract

For a long time the question of location of economic activities was reduced to that of producers, the location of consumers being considered as a variable of secondary importance. However, with the increase of tourism mobilities and spare time, people tend to consume outside of the place they are used to living and in the future, the presence or not of these temporary consumers could be an important stake for local economies. This paper aims at defining theses stakes by analysing the geography of tourism mobilities in France and measuring the displacements of consumption they generate between French areas.
