Consumo turístico y desigualdad social en España

The paper examines the relationship between tourism consumption and social inequality within the Spanish Society, updating the sociological perspective on this issue through a survey to general population. The participation in tourism is operationalized in a typology that facilitates critical examination of the thesis that tourism is currently both differentiated and generalized. The segmentation (CHAID) analysis permits to reflect the interactions between the manifold dimensions of social structure, identifying privileged and excluded groups in their relations with tourism consumption
