Confusions interessades sobre turisme – Es Diari de Menorca
New article by Guillem López i Casasnovas, published in the Diari de Menorca and entitled "Interested Confusions about Tourism".
He analyses the tensions between tourism supply and demand and their social and territorial consequences, arguing that the problem is not tourism itself, but a simplistic supply model that has failed to incorporate environmental and resource depletion costs into prices, shifting them onto society instead. He warns that a high economic dependence on tourism is dangerous for any territory, and proposes that prices should reflect the real costs of the activity, that supply should be gradually adjusted to avoid unsustainable demands, and that public policies should preserve the natural heritage in both the short and long term.
