HERITAGE VERSUS TOURISM: NEW DEPOSIT OF CREATION OF EMPLOYMENT IN THE ANDÉVALO. HUELVA. SPAIN

Abstract

The economic and social transformations of the last decades motivated by the growth of the rent, the increase of the life expectancy, the higher educational level and higher disposition of free time, have led society to demand new services and products related to leisure and free time, culture and heritage.
The consolidation of this potential needs to go hand in hand with mediating instruments under the care of public and private agents that must spread the idea of heritage as a factor of social and economic development, eliminating the psychological barriers that prevent the growth of the supply and demand from being perceived as “luxury services”.
