| Abstract: | This study analyses the effects of ski resort development on the human population and the primary production activities of the area using a 30-year data set extending back to before the development of most ski resorts in the Pyrenees. The study results indicate that the area influenced by ski resorts is restricted to the municipalities nearest to them. These municipalities show positive demographic changes and a negative evolution of primary activities. The municipalities more distant from the ski resorts show the opposite pattern. The advantages and problems of ski resort-based tourism in relation to the sustainable development of the Pyrenees are discussed in depth. |
