The Tourist System

• Provide and review findings of work toponymy

System
• set of interrelated elements that evolve dynamically.
Model
• abstraction we use to better understand the system. We took into account only
the most relevant or crucial.
Systems theory
• There is always a supra-system or framework: external factors and characterist
ics that shape the reality (globalization, war, pandemics, technology) Synergy:
Each party does not represent the whole. The total does not equal the sum of all
the parties but is richer and more complex than the sum of all parties.

Systems theory
3. Continuous equilibrium: the system adapts to new circumstances through improv
isation, changes and adjustments
What they found out about the tourism system?
According to the WTO system is made up of tourism
• • Demand Supply 3. The geographical area in April. Market participants
1. Demand means all consumers, or potential consumers, of goods and tourism serv
ices. 2. The offer: the set of products, services and organizations actively inv
olved in the tourist experience. 3. The geographical space: physical basis which
takes place the conjunction or between the supply and demand and where the resi
dent population is located (this is not in itself a tourist element, but is cons
idered an important factor of cohesion or disintegration, as the Commission took
into account whether or not the planning of tourism) 4. Market participants: co
mpanies and organizations whose main function is to facilitate the interplay bet
ween supply and demand: travel agencies, transport companies and regular public
and private agencies involved in the management and / or promotion of tourism.
