Resum:
The development of tourism creates socially constructed and specialised productive spaces which are complex and dynamic in nature (Sanz-Ibáñez and Anton Clavé 2014). How this development is materialised in terms of intensity, characteristics and performance can largely differ from place to place even if the product offered is similar or if these spaces are in the same country or region. In this context, it is of utmost interest for tourism scholars, practitioners, decision-makers, and professionals to understand how tourism destinations evolve over time, why such differences are produced, and what mechanisms generate them.
