Abstract

La presente investigación, de orden descriptivo- explicativo, toma como punto de partida la ciencia política para llevar a cabo el análisis de la administración pública y de la gobernanza en el campo disciplinario del turismo. El caso de estudio se centra en la región Huasteca potosina, destino turístico con altos índices de visitación, donde la confluencia de diversos actores ha hecho compleja la interacción entre ellos mismos, lo que ha causado efectos directos en los sitios. Por este motivo, el objetivo es identificar y describir esquemas de gobernanza municipal que coadyuven al proceso directivo del turismo en beneficio del desarrollo local. Se aplica la metodología de la investigación acción. Los resultados ofrecen un panorama de reflexión colectiva en torno a la problemática y a las oportunidades de mejora que enfrentan tanto los directores de turismo como los actores locales bajo los preceptos de gestión turística y de gobernanza local.


Alternate abstract:

The present descriptive and explanatory research takes political science as a starting point to analyze the disciplinary field of tourism through the lens of public administration and governance. The case study focuses on the Huasteca potosina region, a tourist destination with high visitation rates, where the convergence of different actors has made for complex interactions, resulting in a variety of direct effects on the sites. Therefore, the objective is to identify and describe municipal governance systems that contribute to the tourism management process for the benefit of local development. The study population comprises five municipalities of the twenty that make up the region. The methodology of action research was applied through documenting and doing field research. Semistructured interviews were carried out on the directors of tourism and tourist service providers. The results offer a panorama of collective reflection on this problematic issue and provide opportunities for improvement by both tourism directors and local actors, under the precepts of tourism management and local governance.
