I28-R145-6391_oai2025-11-17 Padilla y Sotelo, Lilia Susana García de León Loza, Armando 2019-04-01 The localization of the island of Cozumel (Mexico) in the Caribbean Sea has endowed it with natural resources that are ideal for tourist activities. The infrastructure about hotels and other attractions, is all of high quality. However, there are ports on the coasts of Mexico that are relatively similar but that are nowhere near competing with Cozumel. This shows that a favourable physical environment and innovative installations are not always sufficient to achieve a place on the circuit of international cruise ships. The main objective of the present work was to identify other factors that would explain the supremacy of Cozumel, on the basis of specific models such theory of Circular Cumulative Causation combined with the spatial spread effects of development. It is suggested here that an economic structure that is specialized in tourism would be an additional and decisive factor in explaining the importance of this port. Analysis of the case of Cozumel from various perspectives confirmed a functional economy that is specialized in the service industries. In addition, the presence of a population with advanced training in dealing with tourists has also been a substantial factor in the prominence that Cozumel has achieved about tourism attraction. La localización de isla Cozumel (México) en el mar Caribe favorece la existencia de recursos naturales óptimos para la actividad turística. La infraestructura hotelera, así como otras diversiones, son todas de alta calidad. Sin embargo, en las costas mexicanas se localizan puertos relativamente similares, pero (excepto Cancún) están lejos de competir con Cozumel demostrando que el entorno físico favorable y equipamiento avanzado pueden ser insuficientes para integrarlos a las redes internacionales de cruceros. Del hecho anterior, se planteó como objetivo central del presente estudio identificar otros factores que explicaran el protagonismo de esta isla partiendo de referentes específicos, como la teoría de Causación Circular Acumulativa combinada con los efectos de propagación espacial del desarrollo, planteando aquí que una estructura económica especializada en el turismo sería un factor adicional y decisivo para explicar la importancia de este puerto. Después de analizar el caso de Cozumel bajo diversos enfoques, se encontró una economía especializada en los servicios; pero también la presencia de una población con alta capacitación para atender al turista se significó como factor sustancial de atracción para visitantes extranjeros. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rtt/article/view/6391 10.34096/rtt.i20.6391 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rtt/article/view/6391/5643 Revista Transporte y Territorio; No. 20 (2019): (enero-junio) - Geografia dos transportes no Brasil; 246-267 Revista Transporte y Territorio; Núm. 20 (2019): (enero-junio) - Geografia dos transportes no Brasil; 246-267 1852-7175 tourism Cozumel island cruise ships economic specialization turismo Isla Cozumel cruceros marítimos especialización económica Why does Cozumel, Mexico, attract cruise ships: tourism beyond the Caribbean El turismo de cruceros de la isla de Cozumel, México: más allá del Caribe info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=transter&d=6391_oai |

The localization of the island of Cozumel (Mexico) in the Caribbean Sea has endowed it with natural resources that are ideal for tourist activities. The infrastructure about hotels and other attractions, is all of high quality. However, there are ports on the coasts of Mexico that are relatively similar but that are nowhere near competing with Cozumel. This shows that a favourable physical environment and innovative installations are not always sufficient to achieve a place on the circuit of international cruise ships. The main objective of the present work was to identify other factors that would explain the supremacy of Cozumel, on the basis of specific models such theory of Circular Cumulative Causation combined with the spatial spread effects of development. It is suggested here that an economic structure that is specialized in tourism would be an additional and decisive factor in explaining the importance of this port. Analysis of the case of Cozumel from various perspectives confirmed a functional economy that is specialized in the service industries. In addition, the presence of a population with advanced training in dealing with tourists has also been a substantial factor in the prominence that Cozumel has achieved about tourism attraction. |
