ANALYSIS OF TERRITORIAL IMPACT OF THIRD TOURIST BOOM IN CANARY ISLANDS (SPAIN) THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF A GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS)

Tourism is an activity that occurs where it is consumed. Tourism development involves adapting a place for tourist use, thus, the production, sale and consumption of tourism goods and services transforms the territorial system on a territorial-tourism system. This territorial-tourism system has some unique characteristics that distinguish them from other territorial systems. Tourism development depends on the territorial system that transforms, so it generates a close relationship of dependency that requires an analysis of its territorial dimension. Here, Cruz analyzes the impacts of the Canary third tourist boom through a multidisciplinary research project, they implemented a Geographic Information Systems as a basis for obtaining knowledge on the territorial dimension of tourism and territorial impact.
