Abstract
The Local Productive System (LPS) is a tool for the development of tourism through the integration of the regional government in its system and the mobilization of other economic activities in the local level. Thinking about the introduction of the Local Productive System in the tourism sector is crucial given the objectives of local actors and socio-economic impacts, while remaining subject to the control in reference to some measurable indicators. This reflection is significant when it comes from the regional government and the professionals of the tourism sector in order to link these activities to the territory and the other economic activities. What is the application of this concept? How it is organized in tourism activity in the field of this study? Asrir village in the province of Guelmim (southern city in Morocco) gives some example of Local Productive System in tourism. The case study is a modest experience implementing the concept in a rural touristic area. Such an experience involves many economic activities for the collective sharing of socio-economic interests at the very local level
