Resumen

Las ciudades europeas han experimentado un intenso crecimiento del turismo y otras movili‑ dades relacionadas. Esta presión sobre los centros urbanos ha aumentado la percepción de la necesidad de diseñar políticas de turismo más sostenibles que aborden los diversos dilemas asociados. Este artículo compara las políticas turísticas de once ciudades europeas considerando lo que los gobiernos han intro‑ ducido o evitado en sus documentos de política turística. El objetivo es observar en qué medida se están incorporando estas acciones directamente relacionadas con la sostenibilidad. Los resultados indican que las políticas turísticas locales se alejan de un modelo de acción pública basado únicamente en la consid‑ eración del impacto económico del turismo y comienzan a trabajar con una gama más amplia de impactos asociados. En este escenario, las ideas de equilibrio y sostenibilidad encuentran un acomodo mucho más claro. Esta investigación presenta un marco de turismo previo a la crisis que puede ser deafiado durante las transiciones posteriores a Covid19.
