“…James McCarthy (2019: 301) points to geographers’ growing historical and comparative engagement with the ‘authoritarian and populist turn’ in the world – a combination of ‘neoliberal, fascist and progressive populisms’ (also Hart, 2020; Loren-Méndez and Pinzón-Ayala, 2020). In a wider register, Pankaj Mishra (2018: 3–9, 268–273) argues that an ‘age of extremes’ (which was Eric Hobsbawm’s adage for the 20th century) has been supplanted by an ‘age of anger’ characterised by a heightened propensity for ‘demagoguery’ arising from the failure of states, leaders, social movements and international organisations to ‘deliver’ on promises of prosperity, freedom and security.…”

‘Doom’, ‘danger’ and ‘disregard’ are palpable sentiments in recent writing by historical geographers and give the subfield some decidedly political intonations. These three words have diverse, disquieting and expectant connotations and are tracked in this report through clusters of research on colonialism, racism, decolonisation, climate change, Earth history and political reaction and populism. This range of historical work within geography provokes more general questions about how the discipline, generally, sees itself today and at a time of profound uncertainty about the meaning and direction of history. At this time, it is easy to be despondent but vital to hope and work for change.

“…Continuing with its extreme interventionism, the Francoist government strove to centralise and strictly control any advertising activity and to maintain a rigid monopoly on foreign tourism promotion (Palou, 2020;Velasco, 2005). In 1951, the Ministerio de Informaci on y Turismo (Ministry of Information and Tourism, MIT) was created, a body fundamentally dedicated to censorship and propaganda of the regime and in which tourism was practically unimportant until 1962 (Fern andez, 2015;García and Marías, 2011;Loren and Pinz on, 2021;Sevillano, 1998).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze Spain’s success in developing mass tourism between 1950 and 1965. Design/methodology/approach This analysis will be carried out from a marketing point of view using the paradigm of the four Ps: product, price, promotion and place, but focusing on the product since, as will be seen, the three other variables had a much lesser impact at that early stage. The product, in holiday tourism, is the destination, a combination in which the main protagonist is the hotel. The authors will analyse the main characteristics of the tourist accommodation on offer in Majorca and Ibiza in two ways: by studying the general statistics on the one hand, and on the other, through the detailed description of two hotel projects focused on the same tourist market but conceptually very different. In the first, a British design from 1956, we see the seed of what could have been and was not. Spain could have been filled with enclave-type tourist destinations with little connection to the local economic network. The second hotel design, on the other hand, shows us the ideal establishment for the exploitation of mass tourism in open destinations. Findings In Spain, mass tourism was explosively successful because the local business community was able to offer a very attractive product. Originality/value The authors use the architectural designs of two hotels as the central axis of the description of the Spanish tourism product.
