Abstract

The connections between tourism and residential trends have been explored bearing in mind the socio-demographic, economic, geographical, or environmental context in which they have taken place. However, few studies have studied their ideological context. This paper tries to contribute to the analysis of the ideological elements present in residential tourism, as they can provide us with valuable sociological keys to understanding the development of this phenomenon. This is a qualitative approach to the discourses of the political elites, the main economic agents, the experts, and the citizens of tourist areas.
