Characterization of Mass Nature Tourism: The Case of Masca (Rural Park of Teno, Tenerife)

Abstract

The village of Masca, with more than 700,000 annual visits, is a tourist resource of the first order; playing a major role both in the activities offered and in the image projected in the tourist system of the destination Tenerife. The ways of using this space, the activities developed, the profile of visitors and the impacts generated are very heterogeneous. This paper presents a diagnosis of the tourist system that is manifested in the village from a polyhedral perspective and analyzes the experience linked to the project for the implementation of the Masca Nature Centre, which includes the characterization of tourists from a survey of 601 visitors.
