摘要：The twenty-first century has radically changed the concept of leisure. Leisure was conceived to happen only out of working hours. Nowadays we are looking for important experiences during all our lives. The Institute of Leisure Studies of the University of Deusto focuses on the human experience beyond the tangible products. We are witnessing a major cultural change in the developed world where most of the population has turned into a philosophy that could be summed up as “having less, enjoying more”. At the same time, the TIC’S revolution has propitiated a deep change in the field of the cultural leisure through new areas as consumer electronics –with its greatest exponent: video games– and virtual communities. Leisure, as a result, has become a significant economic sector with a brilliant future. We are trying to address in this article its impact in terms of production, employment and income.
