CAPTION II TYPES OF “SPACE” FOR THE TOURISM PLANNING

REAL SPACE

It regards the whole surface of our

planet and the Biosphere layer
involving it, which can be felt by the
human being trhrough their senses. It is
real because it is easy to prove their
existance, to travel on it and in many
cases to modify it.
CAPTION II TYPES OF “SPACE” FOR THE TOURISM PLANNING

POTENTIAL SPACE

It is the possibility of allocating the real

space to some use other than the current
one; therefore, the potential space does not
exists in the present, its reality belongs to
the imagination of the planners, when,
after the diagnosis, moving on to the
propositional part of the plan, the
possibilities of using a territory are
studied.
CAPTION II TYPES OF “SPACE” FOR THE TOURISM PLANNING
CULTURAL SPACE.

It is that part of the earth's crust that due of man's action has changed its original
physiognomy.
To emphasize that the
cultural space is the
consequence of the work of
man, destined to condition
the earth to his needs. It is
also called adapted space.
As the kind of task that man
performs on the cultural.

or adapted space, the adapted natural space and the artificial space originate.
 CAPTION II TYPES OF “SPACE” FOR THE TOURISM PLANNING
ADAPTED NATURAL SPACE

are the parts of the earth's crust where the species of the vegetable, animal and
mineral kingdom predominate, under the conditions set by man. Also, It is called
rural space to indicate the productive tasks that
there they are carried out by plowing and sowing the fertile land, by building canals
irrigation, cutting down the original forests, planting new trees, raising livestock or
exploiting mineral deposits. In the adapted natural space (or rural) trees or cereals
grow according to the forces of nature, but it is man who decides where they should
be born and how long they will live. Even determine how they should grow by
planting them in an order geometry and by accelerating the natural rate of
development through fertilizers or even changing its natural form, as is done with
fruit trees that are pruned to increase their production.

ARTIFICIAL SPACE.

Includes that part of the earth's crust where all kinds of artifacts built by the men. Its
maximum expression is the city, which is why it is also takes the name of urban space. In
it everything that exists man has done it. All forms are invented by him, and when some
natural element appears (flowers, plants and trees) its function is to decorate the artificial
environment where they will have to grow enclosed in pots or flower beds. Sometimes the
concept of space artificial is confused with that of an adapted natural space. this confusion
originates from not noticing the fact that even when in a plantation the hand of man
intervenes, its product: the harvest is a natural result, that is, it is believed that like the
plantation it is an artificial fact, the plants that are born from it also they are. For the
harvest to be artificial someone would have to have manufactured each plant and each
grain, suppose in plastic material.

VIRGIN NATURAL AREA.

They are those areas, increasingly scarce, of the natural space without
vestiges of the action of man.

VITAL SPACE.

This spatial form does not refer to the earth, but man or any other species of
the kingdom monera, protista, plant and animal and its environment or
favorable environment that requires in order to exist.
CAPTION III THE TOURIST SPACE

The tourist space is the consequence of the presence and distribution

territory of the tourist attractions that, we must not forget,
They are the raw material of tourism. This heritage item
tourism, plus the tourism plant and infrastructure, is enough to
define the tourist area of ​any country.

CAPTION IV Tourist zone

It is the largest unit of analysis and structuring of the universe tourist space of a
country. Its surface is variable, since it depends of the total extension of each
national territory and of the form distribution of tourist attractions, which are the
basic elements to take into account for its delimitation. Its minimum dimension is
the one immediately greater than the maximum reached by a holiday resort.

For a tourist zone to exist, it must have a minimum number of ten tourist attractions
close enough, regardless to what type they belong and what category they are.
After having represented on a map the precise location of each attraction, the
degree of proximity is determined visually by applying in its reading the law of
contiguity. This law consists in using the capacity of synthesis of the mechanism of
vision as a vehicle to recognize in each case, the natural forms of grouping that can
be adopted by the annotated symbols.

CAPTION IV Touristic Zone

“MAJOR UNIT OF THE TOURIST SPACE”

- Minimum 10 tourist attractions close enough, no matter

what type and category they belong to.
- It must have facilities, infrastructure, tourist services, etc.
- It must also have two or more Touristic centers.
- its minimum dimension is the immediate largest that a
Tourist Complex can reach

- if it lacks part or all of these requirements, it should be

considered as a potential area.
- If any of its Tourist attractions is isolated or its tourist
services are insufficient, it should be classified as a potential
zone.

- Its territorial extension is variable since it depends on the

total extension of the territory.
CAPTION IV Touristic zone
 CAPTION V Touristic Area

“IT CORRESPONDS TO THE PARTS IN WHICH A TOURIST ZONE CAN BE DIVIDED”

- Their territorial extension is less than the tourist Zone that contains them.
- As a Touristic Zone can be of different sizes it is possible that an Touristic Area may be larger than
the smaller Touristic zone.
- It cannot have less than 10 attractions. So for a Touristic Zone is able to be divided into Touristic
Areas, it must have at least 20 or more attractions.
- It Must have at least one Touristic center.
 CAPTION VI Touristic center

“IT IS A URBAN CONGLOMERATE THAT COUNTS IN ITS OWN TERRITORY OR

WITHIN THAT RADIUS OF INFLUENCE SOME ATTRACTIONS OF A SUFFICIENT
TYPE AND CATEGORY TO MOTIVATE A TOURIST TRIP”

- In order to allow a round trip, the radius of influence has been estimated at 2 hours
of distance and time (following some characteristics like)
• topography of the terrain
• type and condition of the road
• type of transport
- The radius of influence of a tourist center must have the following characteristics in
terms of its tourist facility:
• Accommodation, food, recreation, travel agencies, tourist information,
tourist businesses, communication, transportation that connects most of the
tourist attractions in its area of ​influence.
 CAPTION VI TYPOLOGY OF TOURIST CENTERS

According to the function they perform they are rate into four types of tourist centers:

1. CENTER OF DISTRIBUTION
It is the urban conglomerate where tourists sleep and stay for one or three days and the point
from visitors move to the different tourist attractions

2. STAY CENTERS
Place where tourists stay for 3 or more days. Tourists return every day at the same attractive.

3. SCALE CENTERS
They are centers in which the tourist attractions are not so important. it is a place where you
can eat, supply gasoline, repair the car, etc. but without spending the night. It is mostly located
at transport connection points

4. EXCURSION CENTERS
They are tourist centers that receive tourists for less than 24 hours who come from other
centers
TYPOLOGY OF TOURIST CENTERS
CAPTION VII Touristic Complex

THEY ARE LARGER OR EQUAL GROUPS BUT

OF LOWER CATEGORY THAN TOURISTIC
CENTERS AND SMALLER THAN A TOURISTIC
ZONE

- They are kind of infrequent points.

- they must have attractions of the highest
category as well as they are complemented with
others.
- Permanence is equal to or greater than 3 days
- They are derived from distribution centers that
reach a higher order
- As a minimum it must have one distribution
center
- If it has more than one center, its influence is
calculated by separating the centers and adding
the resulting areas
 CAPTION VIII Tourist Unit

MINOR CONCENTRATIONS WITH EQUIPMENT THAT IS USED TO EXPLOIT

TOURISTICALLY ONE OR SEVERAL ATTRACTIONS ONE WITHIN THE OTHER

- They have accommodation and food services, especially in ehotls that offer some facilities
such as swimming pools, tennis courts, shops, casinos, etc.
- They hardly have a permanent population
- Example: Waterparks
 CAPTION IX Tourist Nucleus

THEY ARE GROUPS OF LESS THAN 10 TOURIST ATTRACTIONS OF

ANY TYPE AND CATEGORY THAT ARE ISOLATED IN THE
TERRITORY

- Rudimentary tourist operation or without it

- Tourist attractions may be isolated and if there are groups of more than 10
attractions but with these characteristics they must be recognized by potential
zones
CAPTION X Tourist Set

WHEN A TOURIST CENTER IS NO LONGER ISOLATED IT

BECOMES A TOURIST SET

- Once the tourist attractions are communicated, Tourism services and

facilities must be built according to the nature and category of its touristic
attractions, if this is achieved, it can become a tourist unit or center.
CAPTION XI Tourist Corridors

THEY ARE CONNECTION ROADS BETWEEN TOURIST ZONES, AREAS,

COMPLEXES, CENTERS, ETC. THEY ARE THE ENTRY POINT OF INBOUND
AND OUTBOUND TOURISM

TOURIST TRANSFER CORRIDORS TOURIST STAY CORRIDORS

- They correspond to the network of roads
and highways of a country
- not any route can perform as a tourist
transport corridor, only those that have a
greater linear distribution of attractions
along the route and landscape qualities
should be selected.
- It should be equipped with tourist
services and facilities along the road
- It is the combination of a tourist center with
a tourist transfer corridor, usually they are
parallel to the coasts, seas, rivers, lakes of a
tourist nature.
- The presence of tourist attractions as well
as tourist services and facilities is essential
