Resumo: Industrial tourism emerged relatively recently as a form of cultural tourism. Although defining its boundaries in terms of scope and time remains the object of academic discussion, a more integrating definition appears to have been reached, which includes a series of material and immaterial issues, related to the capitalist productive culture of both past and present. The aim of this text is to analyse the social, cultural and institutional use of former production and manufacturing facilities as well as living industry in order to forecast their impact on the creation of an integrating industrial tourism offer, which represents past and present industrial culture in a true and faithful manner.
