This country provides an excellent research example due to its socioeconomic characteristics, the fact that tourism is an important economic activity and that, in spite of not having an ideal database to prove empirically that tourism is associated to shared growth, there are reliable databases that combined may provide insightful information. The main findings are: first, tourist destinations in general have better economic conditions that neighbor communities. Second, in general we find that growth in tourism (growth in tourism related employment) is associated to more employment, to lower percentage of population working in social security, and to better figures in the Human Development Index (HDI). It has also been found that growth in maquila and oil industries do not present these positive impacts. 2013-03-21T15:58:56Z 2013-03-21T15:58:56Z 2009-11-18 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2009/11/16420815/mexican-tourism-sector-driver-shared-growth http://hdl.handle.net/10986/12832 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Other Infrastructure Study Economic & Sector Work Latin America & Caribbean Mexico
