Abstract

Residents' perception of the impacts of tourism is a relevant issue in academic studies through both qualitative and quantitative approaches. This study was conducted in the metropolitan area of Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco and Bahía de Banderas, Nayarit, where tourism is the predominant activity. With a survey raised to the population, it was developed a “Structural Equations Model” (SEM) which determine that the impacts of tourism explain in an adequate way the perception of the local population, as it is based on academic literature, with the contribution in this work, that the perception is a predictor of the interest to solve their problems of the community. For the case study, although there are differences in the integration of impacts as perception, there is no significant statistical difference in the perception as a predictor of the interest in participating in the two analyzed populations.
