Abstract: In this article a proposal of territorial planning is presented from harmonic tourism as the factor that boosts sustainable development in the city of Toluca and the region of the Valley with the same name. In this proposal elements of “New Urbanism, Sustainability and Harmonic Tourism” are incorporated.

Estructura territorial del turismo en Santiago, Nuevo León, México

Abstract: Este trabajo tiene como finalidad revelar la estructura territorial del turismo en Santiago, Nuevo León, municipio perteneciente a la zona metropolitana de Monterrey. Se explica, desde un punto de vista geográfico, el arreglo y articulación del turismo en el territorio, para ello se alude a la distribución de los recursos naturales y culturales, así como de la infraestructura y servicios que atienden a esta actividad económica, y se examina la procedencia geográfica de los visitantes, que transitan por distintos canales de comunicación hacia Santiago. Los resultados indican que la demarcación municipal posee una diversidad de recursos, en particular de índole natural, que soportan su promoción como destino turístico, sin embargo, el crecimiento del turismo en esta localidad depende, en gran medida, de lo que acontece en la ciudad de Monterrey, lugar de pernocta de una proporción importante de los visitantes que llegan a Santiago y desde donde se promociona la llegada de turistas a esta localidad. Se trata pues de un ejemplo de destino turístico supeditado a una gran metrópoli en términos de accesibilidad, servicios y conectividad.
