“…One of the most important of these (although not exclusively rural) is camping. Barke and France (1986) showed that total campsite capacity increased by 37% between 1971 and 1981 mainly in coastal areas, especially near to the French and Portuguese borders. Of the interior areas, only Toledo and provinces bordering with Portugal had much campsite accommodation.…”

The paper describes the rapid recent growth in rural tourism facilities in Spain and attempts to account for the regional variations that exist. The range of activities involved in rural tourism is described and a significant trend towards the development of 'active' leisure pursuits in rural areas is identified. This clearly implies a major change in the use of the countryside, albeit in specific locations, but therefore calls into question the assertion of some scholars that rural restructuring is not a feature of contemporary Spain. In assessing the wider impact of rural tourism policies as part of overall rural development, however, it is clear that the main beneficiaries are not necessarily local residents.

Hotels and second home rentals are two of the most important tourist accommodation options in Spain. In terms of seasonality, almost all previous studies have analysed tourism demand from the point of view either of total arrivals or the number of tourists lodged in a single accommodation type (hotels, rural accommodation, etc). However, there are no studies focusing on price seasonality or comparing seasonality among different accommodation types. By using seasonality indicators and a price index constructed by means of

“…Among several key focal themes for an emerging geography of tourism are analysis of the spatial aspects of demand and supply for tourism products. Some examples of the adoption of a spatial approach in tourism research include, inter alia, Forer & Pearce (1984) study of package tourism in New Zealand, Pearce (1987) on the geographical organization of package tours in Europe, works by Pearce & Grimmeau (1985) and by Barke & France (1986) on the spatial structure of tourist accommodation supply and demand in Spain, Weaver & Elliott (1996) on spatial issues and problems in Namibian tourism, Müller (2016) on geographical explanations of tourism success or failure in remote regions, Wang (2008) on the spatial structure of tourism resources in one Chinese region, Wen & Sinha (2009) on the spatial patterns of tourism in China, Guedes & Jiminez (2015) on the geographical patterns of cultural tourism in Portugal; and, Yang & Wong (2013) on the spatial distribution of inbound and domestic tourism flows to China's cities.…”
