To achieve the objectives, the analysis of the content methodology was used, in order to retrieve the position of the authors who wrote about these subjects: guests, tourism and environment, within the three theoretical perspectives. Twenty-five authors were used in this analysis. It shows that the approaches adopted by those authors were related to the segments suggested by the neoclassical economy and the environmental economy. It is interesting to note that there were no authors converging towards the ecological economy.
