Abstract

Vera Rebollo J. F. and Ivars Baidal J. A. Spread of low-cost carriers: tourism and regional policy effects in Spain, Regional Studies. Low-cost carriers form the most dynamic segment in the international tourism traffic toward Spain. Their recent evolution shows high growth rates that contrast with the stagnation of traditional companies, a phenomenon which is part of the transformations experienced by the tourism market and air transport in Europe and which has caused both quantitative and qualitative changes in Spain's tourist activity. However, the effects of low-cost carrier operations go beyond the context of the tourism sector and affect land-use and infrastructure planning policies, gradually shaping a new scenario where the specialization of tourism in real estate along the Spanish Mediterranean coast becomes reinforced. [image omitted] Vera Rebollo J. F. et Ivars Baidal J. A. Le developpement des transporteurs a faible cout: effets du tourisme et de la politique regionale en Espagne, Regional Studies. Les transporteurs a faible cout (LCC) constituent le segment le plus dynamique du tourisme international vers l'Espagne. Leur evolution recente fait apparaitre des taux de croissance eleves qui contrastent avec la stagnation des compagnies classiques, phenomene qui s'inscrit dans les transformations que connaissent le marche du tourisme et le transport aerien en Europe et qui est a l'origine de modifications quantitatives et qualitatives du tourisme en Espagne. Toutefois, les effets des operations des LCC vont au-dela de ce secteur et touchent egalement les politiques d'amenagement du territoire et de planification des infrastructures, donnant naissance progressivement a un nouveau scenario ou la specialisation du tourisme dans l'immobilier le long des cotes mediterraneennes en Espagne se voit renforcee.

Die Ausbreitung von Billigfluggesellschaften: Auswirkungen auf Fremdenverkehr und Regionalpolitik in Spanien, Regional Studies. Billigfluggesellschaften bilden das dynamischste Segment des internationalen Fremdenverkehrs in Spanien. Bei dieser neuen Entwicklung werden hohe Wachstumsraten verzeichnet, wahrend traditionelle Gesellschaften eine Stagnation verzeichnen - ein Phanomen, das einen Bestandteil des Wandels im Bereich des Fremdenverkehrsmarkts und Flugverkehrs in Europa bildet und das zu einer quantitativen und qualitativen Veranderung der touristischen Aktivitaten in Spanien gefuhrt hat. Die Auswirkungen der Geschaftstatigkeiten von Billigfluggesellschaften gehen jedoch uber den Kontext des Fremdenverkehrssektors hinaus und betreffen auch die Politiken zur Planung von Bodennutzung und Infrastruktur, wobei allmahlich ein neues Szenario entsteht, in dem sich die Spezialisierung des Fremdenverkehrs auf Immobilien entlang der spanischen Mittelmeerkuste verstarkt.

La expansion de las companias aereas de bajo coste: incidencia en la politica regional y turistica en Espana, Regional Studies. Las LCC's constituyen el segmento mas dinamico del trafico turistico internacional hacia Espana. Su evolucion reciente muestra elevadas tasas de crecimiento frente al estancamiento de las companias tradicionales, un fenomeno que forma parte de las transformaciones que experimenta el mercado turistico y del transporte aereo europeo y que ha provocado cambios cuantitativos y cualitativos en la actividad turistica espanola. Sin embargo, sus efectos superan el ambito sectorial-turistico para afectar a las politicas de ordenacion del territorio y planificacion de infraestructuras, configurando paulatinamente un nuevo escenario en el que se refuerza la especializacion inmobiliaria del turismo en la costa mediterranea espanola.
