The sustainability of tourism-oriented places in México

Authors

Abstract

Tourism can provide higher well-being levels for society, yet it is currently under question whether these benefits

have reached the host population. Sustainable tourism delivers a triple benefit: environmental conservation,

economic development, and social progress. This document aims to compile a Tourism Sustainability Index (TSI) in

México. Using the quantitative approach, 276 municipalities in México designated tourist destinations were

analyzed. Twenty-five variables obtained from secondary sources were processed using the Principal Component

Analysis (PCA) statistical technique. The results indicate a national average performance of 0.50, where the Sea of

Cortés region presents the best performance with 0.57, and the Yucatán peninsula shows the lowest performance with

0.47. This information facilitates the appropriate formulation of tourism-oriented public policies to promote

sustainable local development within society.
