This subject, which belongs to the range of optional subjects on the Degree in Tourism, allows students to analyse the organisation and dynamism of regional spaces, on a global and Spanish scale, with an integrated vision in which the different ecological, social, historical, economic and cultural components are considered in an interrelated manner, as an explanatory basis for understanding the organisation of territories, taking into account the interdependence between the different spatial scales, since local phenomena are affected by structural processes of great importance in the face of growing globalisation, albeit with different responses depending on the specific conditions of each region. In other words, the context that, at different scales, explains the emergence, maintenance and crisis of tourism flows and destinations on a global scale.
The contents covered in the subject Regional Geography are divided into three didactic units. The first, The World Space, presents the foundations of Regional Geography, the general aspects of the regional division of the world and the major regional socio-economic imbalances. In the second and third didactic unit, Large Regional Groups, a presentation is made of the large regional spaces of the world through an overview of the features and processes that characterise them and through the detailed analysis of relevant aspects in each regional group, separating the developed territories from the underdeveloped ones.
