After having defined and distinguished the geographical “peripheries”, this article discusses the characters and effects of the development of tourism in the countries of the South, seen as peripheries of the world, where international flows have grown greatly even in years of depression of the world economy. It rejects the thesis of those who explicitly or implicitly contrast, in a Manichean way, conventional mass tourism, considering it unsustainable, to new or better alternative tourisms (ecotourism, CBT, pro-poor tourism, etc.), considering them uncritically sustainable. In addition, it warns against the dangers of failure of local development proposals that rely too much, if not exclusively, on tourism and even more those that suppose that it is realized without careful planning. Finally, it emphasized the need for a systemic and participatory approach to development planning, capable of integrating the various activities and subjects of the destination, through their collaboration. In particular, for the progress of tourism in the peripheries, as well as in the centers themselves, collaboration must be implemented also between centers and peripheries.
