In recent years, especially after COVID-19, the tourism industry is undergoing tremendous changes. Post-epidemic travelers are looking for outdoor products to enjoy different experiences and make new mobility, and tourists are pursuing non-traditional destinations, changing traditional travel needs and mobility. With this new demand, some new tourism models, such as wine tourism, have become popular after the 1990s, aiming to meet the new demand and mobility of post-epidemic world tourism. This paper presents current data on Chinese tourists’ travel before the epidemic, analyzing their growing demand for « slow tourism » that will break the stereotypes of their travel needs, and highlighting the history of wine development in China and its food and wine culture as a way to introduce them to Spain as a medium-sized The case studies chosen by the author are the few « heroic regions » in Spain, Priorat in Catalonia and Ribeira Sacra in Galicia._x000D_

1156 | manual – juny 6 | Geographies of masculinities and new ruralities in Spain | Mireia Baylina, Maria Dolors Garcia Ramon, Montserrat Villarino, María Josefa Mosteiro, Ana María Porto, Isabel Salamaña

Masculinities are constructed in relation to other entities including bodies, norms, institutions, and geographical contexts, and this relationality is an ongoing and ever-changing process. Rural areas are often associated with persistent gender inequalities with specifically rural masculinities and femininities, regarding identities, expectations, and practices. In this framework, this paper focuses on the identities and practices of highly qualified young adult men that move to the countryside to start a professional project. These urban-rural migrations are part of the new back-to-the-land movements in some areas of Spain and Europe, led by highly qualified young women and men, with new ideas about work, resource management and the value of territories. We analyze men’ self-perception and how they articulate work and family life. Feminist theory and methodologies are used to capture the gendered nature of men’s experiences, through in-depth interviews to men of rural areas of Spain. The results show different repertories of masculinity that go beyond the common positions of gender, age, and social class; and show progress and resistance in the construction of equal gender relations in rural areas. These data allow us to account for the current processes of construction of rural masculinities to better understand the lives of men and the relative position of women.
