Tourism Public Management - APERTURISME

Reference of the Group:

GIUV2018-428

 
Description of research activity:
Public management is a fact of life in tourism. There is no longer any doubt about the decisive role of the Administration (at whatever level it is divided), to admit that its presence provides tourism with a stable framework, not exclusively conditioned to the evolution of the market. This should be so, fundamentally, because tourism activity requires the use of public goods and services for its development, which, in most cases, were either not created for this purpose or do not exist. From a micro vision, the tourism products created for this consumption are made up, among their basic components, of public goods which, in general, constitute the most valued elements in the choice of those who consume them. Equally decisive, although less visible, are other components (such as infrastructures, regulations, safety or health) which, from a macro vision, in many cases condition the success of tourism. These public goods and services, which, by the way, are not generally the responsibility of tourism, generate friction between administrations, and between administrations and the private and civil sphere, which translates into areas of conflict. Consequently, tourism no longer only...Public management is a fact of life in tourism.

These public goods and services, which, by the way, are not generally the responsibility of tourism, generate friction between administrations, and between administrations and the private and civil sphere, which translates into areas of conflict. Consequently, tourism no longer only creates economic benefits, but also other externalities that were discussed until very recently, but have now been taken on board. Thus, in the public sphere, tourism management focuses its attention on how to mitigate the negative effects of the activity and how to make the most of the opportunities that can be glimpsed in territories with potential. All of this considering the diversity of actors involved and their interests, and not having to prioritise between the social, economic, cultural and environmental dimensions. Aperturism, as a research group, was created with the general objective of analysing, deepening and reflecting on the public management of tourism, with a special focus on the local level.
