Abstract

Introduction: The objective of this research is to determine the typology of the tourist offer aimed at Sevillian travelers of the time, what destinations and what motivation was offered to them to travel. Methodology: We have used a double methodology, the first of a quantitative type, with 106 press announcements collected; and subsequently we have applied the qualitative content analysis. Results: We have catalogued six different types of tourist offer: health tourism in spas, maritime cruises, religious tourism, hotel offer, beach destinations and event tourism. Conclusions: In a context of serious economic crisis that affected the city after the 1929 Exhibition, there was a varied tourist offer, aimed mostly at the classes with high purchasing power, and a minimal offer aimed at the popular classes, limited to short trips to the beaches of Huelva and Cádiz.
