Examples of tourist regions

The Alps are a very popular tourist region.
The case of Spain
On the other hand, in Spain one of the most important tourist regions, after being classified as such by the European Union ( EU ), is the Canary Islands , mainly due to the volume of visitors it receives annually. In its case, what attracts tourists most are its beaches, its mild climate throughout the year and also the interesting and particular natural spaces, such as the Teide Park and the Yellow Mountain , among many others.
This region is so relevant that during these years it has sometimes managed to place itself above other emblematic tourist attractions of the Old Continent, such as the Italian Tuscany , Tyrol or the Alps , among others. What's more, it has even managed to receive a greater number of visits than such significant cities as London , Paris or Rome .
However, we must not overlook that in Spain there are other tourist regions that are also very attractive and successful, such as the Balearic Islands , which has even become the preferred place to spend half the year for citizens of the rest of Europe. , or Andalusia . And in both cases they also offer wonderful weather and majestic natural enclaves, without forgetting the rich architectural and artistic heritage of the Andalusian lands fundamentally.
Other tourist regions
The Alpine region is another tourist region, in this case located in the lands of countries such as Switzerland , Italy , France and Austria , among others. Millions of tourists travel to the Alpine region every year to practice winter sports and appreciate its landscapes .
Tourist regions usually find tourism as their main economic activity. Visitors , upon arriving in the region, spend on accommodation , food and entertainment : this is money that enters the region. For this reason, the authorities of a tourist region must develop the necessary infrastructure to attract more and more visitors who contribute to increasing local wealth.
