【 摘 要 】

Tourism, as an economic sector, has expanded exponentially in the twenty-first century—both in Spain and on a global scale—according to data from different sources. There are a number of highly-specific kinds of tourism, one of which is the so-called ‘hunting tourism’. This study addresses one of the most neglected aspects of this type of tourism: the profile of the average tourist. In order to determine this profile, this article draws from primary data compiled by the Extremadura Observatory for Tourism, by means of a survey conducted at the Tourist Offices of the region. The relevant data have been analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. This analysis has yielded important results that have been used to characterize the profile of the hunting tourist. Among the most significant characteristics, the following should be noted: socio-demographic characteristics; travel patterns and practices; and the interest these tourists show for activities other than hunting.
