Summary/Abstract: The traditional concept of tourism, based on the definition by the World Tourism Organization, is related primarily to the recording of activities in this area. A systemic approach to tourism allows for the understanding of this phenomenon as a process of meeting needs and demands. An analysis of the demand for tourism brings knowledge of the decisions of tourists. An analysis of the destination product allows for an understanding of the process of meeting needs within tourism. This definition of the concept is based on the determination of the conditions and processes that make up tourism.
