For a city like Barcelona, tourism represents both an opportunity and a challenge. That is the reason why we decided to focus the second edition of TOURISCAPE Conference on the debate about urban tourism - without forgetting other tourism typologies. To enrich the program, a number of activities are included in order to make us observe the Barcelona tourist phenomenon from different points of view.

The congress aims to gather researchers of different study fields, focusing on the analysis and/or projects of tourism and landscape. Architects, economists, geographers, landscapers, sociologists, planners, anthropologist and all the academics interested in the spatial dimension of this phenomenon are welcome to join us and to share their experiences.
