Description
Summary:This document shows several of the main findings of the research work in the towns of San Juan de los Lagos and Santa Ana de Guadalupe, Jalostotitlán, Mexico, on the occasion of knowing the impact it has had the policy used by the Ministry of Tourism, regarding the promotion of religious tourism in both populations as a source for economic development.Among the findings are that the project whose intent is to develop a similar route to that of the "Camino de Santiago" in Spain, and include both populations is often unknown to visitors to these religious sites.Another important result concerns the data were limited marketing of products manufactured locally or regionally. This prevents the economic benefits of religious tourism that visits this population, have very little benefit to people nearby.
