Abstract

UNESCO has been calling for the development of management plans at World Heritage Sites. Tourism is a key factor in these plans due to the high influx of tourists to the sites listed. Tourism is present in the various methodological guidelines developed in some states and it is also a recurring theme in many of the plans that affect economic spaces more complex (historic cities and cultural landscapes). This article presents the treatment of tourism in the Management Plan of Aranjuez Cultural Landscape. This plan shares methodological approach to the tools being developed in other Spanish cities with a strong tradition of urban planning. However, urban planning has serious limitations when contemplating the activities related to tourism and recreational activities in a comprehensive manner.
