Resumen
Descripción
The goal of this paper is to estimate
(with the data available) the impact of tourism as a factor
of shared growth at the local or municipal level in Mexico.
This country provides an excellent research example due to
its socioeconomic characteristics, the fact that tourism is
an important economic activity and that, in spite of not
having an ideal database to prove empirically that tourism
is associated to shared growth, there are reliable databases
that combined may provide insightful information. The main
findings are: first, tourist destinations in general have
better economic conditions that neighbor communities.
Second, in general we find that growth in tourism (growth in
tourism related employment) is associated to more
employment, to lower percentage of population working in
social security, and to better figures in the Human
Development Index (HDI). It has also been found that growth
in maquila and oil industries do not present these positive impacts.
