The aim of this article is to analyze the recent evolution of the links between the retail trade and the activities of leisures and tourism. For this purpose, work was organized in three times: initially, studying of the effects induced on the retail trade by tourism and the leisures; then, analyzing of two new forms of trade (shopping centres and factory outlets malls) which seem today to Induce displacements of leisure and tourism to the same title sometimes as some city centers; then searching for an explanation.

With this aim in view, one first case is chosen - Europa - and the processus is learned through the main questions of geography : what where ? which evolution ? who ? how ? why and why there and not elsewhere ? The lead of territory in the strategies and the choices of the firms is clearly showed; this fact confirms the geographical relevance of the thema « Globalization of Retailing ». [less ▲]
