Measuring poverty in mexican tourist literature ; Medición de la pobreza en la literatura turística mexicana

Abstract

Poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon of a structural nature in Mexico which was formally addressed until the revolutionary era, when social policy was positioned on the government's agenda and the fight against poverty became one of the priorities of national policy. Among the many instruments that have been used, tourism has begun to be considered as a strategy that contributes to improving the quality of life of some communities. Therefore, this document seeks to examine the state of the art of poverty-tourism and its link with Community-Based Tourism (CBT), since it has been shown that this model is effective in reducing poverty. Through a cabinet analysis of 178 scientific articles deposited in the Redalyc, Dialnet, Latindex, Scielo and Scopus databases, published from 2015 to 2020, it is found that only 16 articles refer to these topics and consider that the CBT is an effective tool in order to reduce poverty in Mexico. The final reflections observe that historical events will characterize the future of the country, so it is necessary to rethink questions and generate new questions to determine whether tourism is really a path for sustainable development and poverty reduction in communities that have invaluable natural and cultural resources. ; La pobreza es un fenómeno multidimensional de carácter estructural en México que recibe un tratamiento formal hasta la época revolucionaria, cuando la política social se posiciona en la agenda de gobierno y el combate a la pobreza se convierte en una de las prioridades de la política nacional.
