Abstract: The step forward into the comprehension which determines the competitive context of the tourist routes and, especially, the insertion of the sustainability as a performance indicator are orienting distinct theoretical models of local tourist system representation. This article explores the content of four of these models which have as a common characteristic to interpret the dynamics of the tourist system under the light of a new competitive context inevitably influenced by sustainable conditioners. The separate analyses allows to identify, conceptualize and characterize the main determining factors of the competitive success in each model, and the confront between them enables to confirm a convergent context and scenery in the indication of the sustainability paradigm attributes for the tourist routes as strategic elements for its planning, organization and management.
