Abstract

The phenomenon of enhancing territory value within a tourism context reflects the existence of several categories of references when defining a cultural identity. Geographic analysis arises from dynamic interaction among territory, identity and image. Definition, representation and spreading of an identity proposal imply nowadays a set of relevant processes within a particular territory not only for identification and consolidation of its tourism personality but also for creating diverse potential uses in the global tourism sphere. Several illustrated considerations about Galicia are presented in this study.
