Abstract

From the discovery of a cave, the relationship between archaeology and tourism primarily considers issues such as conservation and sustainable development. Also, tourism activity later performs as strategic driver for rural development. This paper analyses the role of cave tourism in Cantabria, which agglutinates the world’s major density of caves. To visitors and tourists, motivations for cave tourism come from both cultural and natural factors.
