This article seeks to determine the approach of the Spanish tourism policy in the democratic period and to establish the ideological orientation of the policies. In reference to the methodology, a content analysis has been utilised to determine the approach of the tourism policies; and a Delphi Method has been used to determine the ideological orientation. The results from the content analysis show how the different tourism plans have differential approaches. In addition, the results from the Delphi Method show the different ideological orientations of the tourism plans, and, secondly, the experts identified links between tourism policy concepts and its ideological orientation. The main conclusions are that, there exist differences in the approach of the tourism policies, but at the same time, there exist a series of common contents in the Spanish tourism policies. Finally, this research cannot conclude that a link between ideology and tourism policy may exist.
