Tourism in antarctica: Conceptual precisions, general principles and theoretical perspectives
For half a century Antarctic tourism has turned from being an elitist activity to become an economic sector that attracts a growing number of travelers. At present, the current human presence on the Antarctic continent brings about a dichotomy; on the one hand, nature tourists cruises, which may or...

For half a century Antarctic tourism has turned from being an elitist activity to become an economic sector that attracts a growing number of travelers. At present, the current human presence on the Antarctic continent brings about a dichotomy; on the one hand, nature tourists cruises, which may or may not land in Antarctica; on the other hand, scientific missions (another example of tourists), that in many cases maintain a continuous presence throughout the year. In this paper we examine this unique aspect, relating to international legislative regulation, reviewing theoretical approaches contributed by different authors, characterizing the problems arising from tourism and ecological impact of specifying the recent trends of Antarctic tourism from a geographical perspective. Desde hace medio siglo el turismo antártico ha pasado de ser una actividad elitista a un sector económico que moviliza a un número creciente de viajeros. En la actualidad, la presencia humana en el continente antártico se caracteriza por su dicotomía; por un lado, los turistas de naturaleza y de crucero, que pueden o no tomar tierra al llegar a la Antártida; por otro, los turistas científicos, que son los únicos que en algunos casos pueden mantener una presencia continuada durante todo el año. En este estudio se reflexiona sobre este aspecto singular, relacionándolo con la regulación legislativa internacional, revisando los enfoques teóricos aportados por diferentes autores, caracterizando los problemas derivados del impacto ecológico del turismo y precisando las tendencias recientes del turismo antártico desde una perspectiva geográfica.
