Abstract
Las zonas de montañas son áreas de gran riqueza natural, cultural y económica, pero a su vez son áreas frágiles y hoy se presentan muy vulnerables debido a un conjunto de factores. En la Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid estas áreas tienen una extensión aproximada de 3.325,80 km2, abarcan 84 municipios y reflejo de la preocupación por esas zonas en 1978 fueron protegidas por Real Decreto y se les paso a denominar “comarcas de acción especial”. Frente a la situación desmejorada que se venía produciendo en estos territorios, la Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid encontró en el turismo una actividad económica alternativa para estos territorios. El turismo, en esos años y también ha día de hoy, se le considera un sector en crecimiento y pujante, las perspectivas son prometedoras y especialmente para el turismo que se desarrolla en zonas con valiosos recursos naturales. Sin embargo, no es suficiente contar con cifras halagüeñas, hoy se hace necesario entender el turismo desde la perspectiva del desarrollo sostenible, concepto que si bien es considerado algo ambiguo y difuso y que se ha difundido rápidamente a casi todas las áreas del conocimiento, plantea criterios y principios que son necesarios incorporar al desarrollo de todas las actividades, especialmente a las económicas y de manera particular al turismo, criterios que nada tienen que ver con el crecimiento cuantitativo del sector...
Mountain areas enjoy an abundance of natural, cultural and economic wealth, but at the same time they are fragile and, at present, highly vulnerable owing to a sum of factors. In the Autonomous Community of Madrid these areas cover an extension of approximately 3,325.80 km2, include 84 municipalities and, in 1978, as a consequence of the growing concern for these areas, were protected by Royal Decree under the title “special action regions”. The Autonomous Community of Madrid found in tourism an alternative economic activity to counter the deteriorating situation of these territories. Tourism, in the 1970s and today, is a sector undergoing strong growth, with promising perspectives most especially for tourist activities established in areas enjoying a profusion of natural resources. However, encouraging statistics are not enough: it is necessary today to understand tourism from the perspective of sustainable development. This concept, despite being considered rather ambiguous and indefinite, and being disseminated across nearly every field of knowledge, comprises criteria and principles that must necessarily be incorporated to all activities, especially economic activities, and most particularly to tourism: these criteria are entirely unrelated to quantitative growth in the sector...
