Abstract

An intelligent use of territorial capital is fundamental in the promotion of regional development. In the case of Andalusia, olive groves comprise a key element to understand the configuration of the territory. For many years the cultivation of the olive has afforded this region with great landscape and environmental value. The diversity of its landscapes presents an ideal framework for tourism initiatives that make use of all the cultural elements linked to this crop. Olive Oil Tourism allows the multifunctional facets of these olive plantations to be reinforced, so that utilization of this existing resources in a sustainable way contributes to an increase in the well-being of the whole rural population. This article presents olive oil tourism as an alternative for economic diversification in many olive-producing areas that contributes to the conservation of olive-growing areas and to the promotion of rural and regional development in Andalusia.
