Abstract

The island of Fuerteventura is an area of recognised heritage and landscape value. However, this area is subject to the ur-ban and tourist pressures characteristic of sun and beach destinations, putting its sustainability at risk. Through fieldwork, bibliographic and cartographic compilation, and the implementation of a virtual tour with augmented and virtual reality techniques, a tourist itinerary is developed along the north coast of Fuerteventura. In this way, the high natural and landscape value of these enclaves is highlighted, materials are generated to argue policies for smart tourist destinations, and VR is shown not only as a tool for scientific, pedagogical or tourist dissemination, but also to avoid overcrowding and, thus, to reduce the impacts produced by tourist saturation of the most ecolo-gically fragile areas.
