Tourism is one of the leading economic activities in the world, directly or indirectly generating between 10 and 12% of world wealth. For a long time, the economic success of tourism has hidden its social impact, also blurring the close and intense relationships that exist between tourism and migration. These relations have a wide political and sociological scope.


In the current context of globalization, it is opportune and necessary to ask about the relationship between tourism and migration, and about the way in which tourism could politically integrate the migratory phenomenon based on the principles of co-development.
Lean on the perspective of the sociologist and political scientist to analyze the new issues that affect tourism, such as the implications of social mobility/migration, the free movement of people and its impact on both the countries of origin and destination .
In many countries in Latin America, Africa and the Middle East, people emigrate due to lack of opportunities, lack of employment, lack of security, lack of quality of life or displaced by war.
