Abstract

In 1972 a group of Swiss and German travel agency directors came to Spain to visit the region of La Mancha in order to learn about the tourist resources that this region could offer. During General Franco´s dictatorship, tourist activities experienced a boom through foreign mass tourism mainly focused on the coastal areas. But in this case the administration prepared a project to attract them to inland tourism, specifically La Mancha.
