The work emphasizes the importance of measuring the tourist intensity of the economies that are oriented to tourism activity, with the aim of avoiding subjective arguments and being more related to perception than with the empirical contrast of the data. A tourist intensity index is proposed, which is made up of four essential variables: GDP, tourist spending, population, and the number of tourists. However, at the same time, it is complemented by a measure of tourist density, which helps to better understand the proposed index. This allows for the classification of countries according to the resulting index, and to calibrate their position in the set of tourist economies. This can be very useful for the application of economic policies aimed at correcting externalities that are generated in the advanced development of mass tourism.
This paper aims to analyse one of the world's top tourist destinations, the Mediterranean, and, more specifically, the evolution and impact of mass tourism on its western islands (Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, Malta and the Balearic Islands) throughout the final decade of the 20th century. Firstly a general overview of world tourism is given, followed by an analysis of tourism in the Mediterranean. In continuation, an in-depth study is made of the evolution and impact of tourism on the aforementioned islands. Finally, possible signs of Dutch disease are examined in these island regions, since their economies have taken advantage of natural resources in the development of their tourist industries, but overspecialization might well jeopardize their future development. Keywords RESUMENEl presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar uno de los destinos turísticos más importantes del mundo, el Mediterráneo, y, más concretamente, la evolución y el impacto del turismo de masas en sus islas occidentales (Córcega, Cerdeña, Sicilia, Malta y las Islas Baleares) a lo largo de la última década del siglo XX. Primeramente se da una visión general del turismo mundial, seguido de un análisis del turismo en el Mediterráneo. A continuación, se realiza un estudio en profundidad sobre la evolución y el impacto del turismo en las islas mencionadas. Por último, se identifican los posibles signos de enfermedad holandesa en estas regiones insulares, ya que sus economías se han aprovechado de los recursos naturales en el desarrollo de sus industrias turísticas, pero la sobre especialización bien podría poner en peligro su futuro desarrollo.Palabras clave: Mediterránea; Islas Baleares; Malta; Cerdeña; Sicilia; Córcega; del ciclo de vida de destino; el turismo de masas; IMEDOC; la enfermedad holandesa.
Crisi, desigualtat i anàlisi econòmica, 1910-2015: alguns instruments de l'economia clàssica (Resum) El treball es focalitza sobre la interpretació de la Gran Recessió a partir d'alguns dels postulats provinents de l'economia clàssica i, en concret, de les teories de D. Ricardo, K. Marx i el complement de J.A. Schumpeter. Hom defensa la importància d'analitzar la crisi a partir d'indicadors que, generalment, es tenen poc en consideració per part de l'economia convencional: la naturalesa endògena de les crisis, l'evolució de la taxa de benefici i l'observació de la tendència a la productivitat del capital.
