Abstract

El presente trabajo, que forma parte un proyecto financiado por la SEP, a través del Programa PRODEP y cuyo proyecto se denomina «Caracterización y diagnóstico de los elementos, productos turísticos y factores del municipio de Comonfort en Guanajuato, hacia el desarrollo de un destino turístico sustentable y competitivo», muestra el resultado del análisis sobre el potencial de la población y establecimientos de servicios turísticos en una ciudad del estado de Guanajuato (México), a fin de poder determinarel potencial de estos para el desarrollo turístico sustentable del lugar. Este estudio forma parte de un diagnóstico para evaluar el potencial turístico de un destino que, aun cuando no existe información oficial sobre las perspectivas de desarrollo en este municipio (Comonfort), realizar una evaluación sobre su potencial turístico constituye una herramienta importante para los organismos encargados de dicho desarrollo, esto a fin de minimizar riesgos en posibles inversiones futuras (Zimmer y Grassmanni, 1996). Se toma, en este primer momento, como base, los datos oficiales generados por el Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI), a fin de conocer las características de la población y desenvolvimiento de los establecimientos turísticos enlistados en la ciudad de Comonfort. Se puede concluir que aun cuando no existen líneas definidas dentro del Plan de Desarrollo Turístico del estado de Guanajuato, que consideren el potencial para el desarrollo turístico sustentable de la ciudad de Comonfort al día de hoy, la ciudad cuenta con potencial en factores de gestión (recurso humano), así como factores de soporte y recursos (empresas e infraestructura), susceptibles de ser desarrollados en el municipio a fin de integrarse en la planificación de un destino turístico sustentable. ****** This paper presents the results of an analysis of the potential of the population and establishments of tourist services in a city in the state of Guanajuato (Mexico) in order to determine the potential of these for sustainable tourism development of the place. This study is part of a diagnosis to assess the possibilities of tourism of a destination for which -even though there is not any official information on the prospects of development in this municipality (Comonfort)- conducting an assessment of possibilities of tourism is an important tool for agencies working on this field, in order to minimize possible risks in future investments (Zimmer and Grassmanni, 1996). Initially, on a first attempt, his study uses official data generated by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) in order to know the characteristics of the population and the evolution of tourist establishments listed in the city of Comonfort. It can be concluded that even if there are not any defined lines within the Tourism Development Plan of the State of Guanajuato that include the potential for sustainable tourism development in the city of Comonfort today, the city has potential management factors (human resources) and supporting factors and resources (enterprises and infrastructure), likely to be developed in the municipality to be integrated into the planning of a sustainable tourist destination
