Violencias: impactos diferenciados en turistas y residentes en la ciudad de Zacatecas-Guadalupe, México (1986-2020)

In Zacatecas-Guadalupe, Mexico, tourist arrivals and economic benefits from tourism remained resilient despite rising criminal violence (1986–2020), while residents—particularly those with higher purchasing power—responded through spatial self-segregation. Nonlinear regression models revealed that crimes like drug dealing and threats did not significantly deter tourists or shrink the tourism economy, suggesting targeted public security measures effectively shielded visitors. Conversely, unprotected residents adopted avoidance strategies, with wealthier groups adapting more successfully. This study highlights starkly divergent impacts of organized crime on transient versus local populations in a UNESCO-listed heritage city.
