Resumo: The “1963 Act of Centers and Zones of National Tourist Interest” embodied the implementation of an administrative intervention model which was extremely damaging to territorial planning as it was in favor of an unfettered development of tourism that produced important imbalances in many towns’ budgetary and urbanistic policies. There has been no subsequent administrative activity that could be equated with that promoted by the 1963 Law. The 'tourist town' as an instrument for planning touristic activity cannot be compared with that model, but, to a certain extent and as a tool for administrative intervention, it does imply the anteposition of short-term economic interests to the defense and preservation of goodsand values of vital importance to the sustainable development of towns, cities and regions.
