Conclusionsof the nostalgic tourism • The reasons why nostalgic tourists are motivated to return to their communities of origin are: The desire to visit to relatives, and to rest and to attend community festivals (89.1%). • The lodging does not represent a problem for the visitors because almost all of them are guaranteed lodging with their nuclear family, with other relatives or with friends (94.5%). • The majority of the flow of visitors come from areas within Mexico (86.5%), and the remainder coming from the United States (13.5%). • The average annual stopover is 17.4 days over the state average of 1.84 days, and the national one of 1.71 days; which presents a coefficient variation of 113.9%.
The economic impact of nostalgic tourism profoundly impacts the economic activities, particularly backyard animal husbandry, commerce and basic services. • Nostalgic tourism has a limited impact on local development because the liquidity provided by the productive activities is directed towards regional markets. • The economic growth induced by the economic impact of nostalgic tourism causes dependency with outside markets because there is an increased demand for imported goods and services. • This is a characteristic of rural economies such as San Francisco Cajonos that lack communal banks or microfinance institutions to ensure that remittances are recycled locally in the form of loans.
