ABSTRACT
Coastal tourism in Spain has registered a continuous quantitative growth in recent decades, a process that poses important questions to ensure its sustainability. The main objective of this study is to assess the reality of this tourism product on the North Atlantic coast; using the great sun and sand destination in Galicia, Sanxenxo as a case study. The analysis methodology used has been based on the use of both qualitative and quantitative techniques, where semi-structured interviews have played a decisive role. This work contributes to affirm that the process of strategic governance in consolidated tourist destinations must influence the quality of the offer based on the promotion of its territorial components and their sustainability. The Sanxenxo model is used as an example and prescriber of the great mature destinations of the Atlantic coast, which have grown in recent years under the dynamics of overtourism, where these principles and recommendations become more necessary.
