Abstract

Explaining the evolution of the concept of "tourism" implies a difficult approach because, like any human activity, it is the subject of an interdisciplinary study, attracting specialists from various fields such as economists, geographers, psychologists and sociologists. The increasing importance that tourism has acquired in the contemporary era has increased the concerns of specialists to define it as precisely and completely as possible. The specialists' concerns in defining and explaining a lot of implications of tourism on the economy have led to the shaping of a rich theory dealing with this field of activity, theories that try to present alongside the basic concepts with which it operates in practice a series of peculiarities, methodologies for measuring specific phenomena.
