Hiking, Andalusia, electronic devices and mobile applications, digitalisation and social networksAbstract
Hiking has experienced a remarkable growth in Spain in the last decades,
and Andalusia has not been an exception, since in the last 5 years the number of hikers has increased by 140.44%. There are several reasons for this
growth, such as rural development policies, protection of natural areas and
rural tourism initiatives, which have attracted new visitors, with hiking being
one of the most popular activities during the tourist stay. Another phenomenon that has greatly helped the growth of hiking has been digitalisation,
the use of electronic devices, applications, such as mobiles, smart watches,
GPS and social networks, which have influenced the mass dissemination
of this activity. The Survey of Sports Habits in Andalusia 2022 revealed that
51% of hikers use electronic devices during their practice. An in-depth study
of this survey provides very interesting results, among others, digitalisation
has transformed the way in which hikers enjoy this activity, the reasons for
its use, the way of meeting with other hikers or the social activities that are
generated after the activity
