RT Journal Article T1 Tourist Spaces and Tourism Policy in Spain and Portugal A1 Almeida-García, Fernando A1 Cortés-Macías, Rafael A1 Balbuena-Vázquez, Antonia K1 Política turística K1 Turismo AB The territorial and geographical factor plays a key role in the development of touristdestinations. The territory and its resources are those that provide identity to the destinations. Buttourism resources are not distributed equitably, so that tourism tends to create territorialimbalances. This is explained by the close relationship between tourism and territorial resources(beaches, landscape, heritage, etc.) and the duty to use these resources in the own tourismdestination.This study analyses the relationships between tourism, tourism resources and regionalimbalances in Spain and Portugal. There are few comparative studies between tourism policy andterritorial processes in Spain and Portugal. This is one of the contributions of this study.
