Resumo: In this article of reflection four paradigms are proposed related to the forms of valuation of tourist places since their emergence as a social phenomenon of modernity, through their various forms of appropriation of the territories in which it has developed: The first is related to the Grand Tour, a social practice that arose in the West; the second, gives rise to the so-called modern, massive or Fordist tourism; the third, is the emergence of alternative tourism, in response to environmental debates, to forms of participatory planning and from a local perspective; and the last, refers to contemporary or postmodern expressions. Although there are some milestones in the emergence of these paradigms, nowadays in different areas of the planet they are presented simultaneously, generating multiple logics and social, material, symbolic and aesthetic contents of places with tourist vocation.
