Tourism Geography or Tourism Geography is the branch of Geography that studies and explains the processes and interactions that produce the spatial structure of tourist destinations.

Geography is tourism that covers a wide variety of interests including human impacts on the landscape understood as a socio-ecological system. As applied science, it provides answers to the concerns that concern the tourism industry. Geography is fundamental to the study of this branch, since it involves movements and activities through geographic space, and is an activity in which both characteristics of places and personal identities are formed through the relationships that are created between the same landscapes and people.

Some of the first works we have on Tourist Geography would be those of Charles Réau, who in his magazine Travel Repertoire made a series of studies from the 1950s, which constitute the basis of what we call tourist geography today. Pierre Defert[1]​ follows the same line as the previous one, both are considered the first initiators of tourist geography as a complex science.

Currently there is a Geography of tourism that includes market issues, tourism traffic and receptor core. Currently it is defined into sending and receiving zones, but that division is not so clear; Well, they mix with each other. There are many studies on tourist geography, but, nevertheless, it is a very recent science, since it is only 50 years old, which is insignificant when compared to traditional sciences. Current tourism appears very defined in a tourist trend that can be called traditions (roads, railways, airplanes); and also in a stream with strictly tourist origin (itineraries, flights, travel agencies, hotels, etc.).
