Summary

Tourism has become a cornerstone of Mexico's economy, driving revenue and employment while reshaping urban landscapes. However, its growth is intertwined with regional violence tied to criminal groups, which has differentially impacted destinations like Acapulco, Guadalajara, and Zacatecas. These cities exemplify the complex interplay between space, violence, and tourism, presenting unique yet shared challenges that mold their economic trajectories. The study employs a geographical approach to analyze how structural factors beyond economics influence tourism development, highlighting the need for nuanced strategies to address these interconnected issues.
