AVALAIBLE VOL 2(1), 2003


PASOS is an internet publication, based at the University of La Laguna in Tenerife (Canary Islands), dedicated to the academic and management-based analysis of the diverse processes inscribed within the tourist system, with a particular emphasis on the uses of culture, the environment, people, communities, spaces and heritage for tourism. It encourages articles from inter and trans-disciplinary perspectives, from both scientific and management points of view.  Its objective is to provide a forum for the discussion of methodologies and theories as well as the presentation of case studies and the results of empirical research.  It hopes to contribute to ongoing debates surrounding attempts to comprehend the phenomenon of tourism and to develop diverse approaches to the prevention of the undesirable consequences of tourism as well as enhance the quality of life of the residents of tourist destinations.
