Abstract

Resumen: La literatura destaca una relación positiva entre el Patrimonio de la Humanidad y el turismo receptivo, sobre todo internacional. El objetivo del presente artículo es medir el impacto que tiene la cantidad de Sitios de Patrimonio Mundial de los países de América Latina y el Caribe sobre el arribo de turistas internacionales. Para ello, siguiendo a Su y Lin (2014), se estiman distintas variantes de la función de demanda de turismo internacional mediante un modelo de datos de panel de 32 países de la región latinoamericana para el período 1995-2016. Los principales resultados comprueban que tanto los sitios materiales como los inmateriales tienen un efecto positivo en la llegada de turistas internacionales. Además, se encuentra que dicho efecto es mayor en los países de ingreso medio alto y alto de la región. En este sentido se considera relevante que los países de América Latina y el Caribe ahonden esfuerzos por lograr el reconocimiento de nuevos Sitios de Patrimonio Mundial. Abstract: The literature highlights that the declaration of a touristic place as a World Heritage Site (WHS) entails a significant increase in visitors, especially international ones. In this context, the aim of this work is to measure this relationship in the case of the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. To do so, according to Su and Lin (2014), different variants of the international tourism demand function are estimated using a panel data model of 32 countries in the Latin American region for the period 1995-2016. The main result is that both material and immaterial WHS have a positive effect on the arrival of international tourists to the countries of the studied region. We also found that increasing the number of WHS has a stronger impact on high income countries than on low-income ones. In this sense, it is considered relevant that Latin American and Caribbean countries deepen their efforts to achieve the recognition of new WHS
