Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to assess local governments’ actions in the French Route of the Way of Saint James, aimed at capitalizing on the heritage of each municipality and favoring sustainable tourism as a factor for local development. The analysis is carried out within the paradigm derived from the approval of the Charter on Cultural Routes by the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) in 2008, which definitively settled the value of cultural routes for promoting tourism and sustainable development. Among the results of the study in which this article is based, it underlines the asymmetry between the tourism potential of natural, ethnographic and monumental resources in the Way, and the scarce local tourism infrastructure in the municipalities, added to the inefficiency of local governments when managing those resources.
