Criminalidad, seguridad pública y turismo en la zona fronteriza de Ciudad Juárez, México

Este artículo analiza la dinámica de las relaciones entre criminalidad, seguridad y turismo en la zona fronteriza de Ciudad Juárez, con el fin de observar cómo las dinámicas criminales y de desigualdades coinciden o no territorialmente con los espacios destinados a los visitantes. Se investiga el caso de Ciudad Juárez, centro económico fronterizo mexicano que tiene significativo flujo de desplazamientos hacia y desde los EE. UU. El estudio se realizó a través de datos secundarios sobre marginación (2010) y criminalidad homicida prevaleciente (2010-2015). Los datos y mapas muestran que los espacios destinados al turismo no se encuentran en las zonas más peligrosas de la ciudad, lo que implica que el visitante en realidad corre muy poco riesgo al permanecer en zonas de bienestar que caracterizan los lugares turísticos. Se concluye que en Ciudad Juárez hay más representaciones de inseguridad que amenaza real para los turistas, quienes se concentran en las zonas de mayor confort de la ciudad.

Thirty Years of Research on Tourism Safety and Security: A Comparative Automated Content Analysis Approach

ABSTRACTSafety and security are important elements in tourism and have been studied over the past few decades. China plays an important role in the global tourism industry as the leading source market in the world. However, no studies thus far have comprehensively reviewed and compared tourism safety and security research published both within and outside China. To fill the void, this study reviewed 160 publications on tourism safety and security from English- and Chinese-language academic journals selected between 1990 and 2018. A comparative automated content analysis (ACA) approach was adopted in this study to analyze and compare the major themes and concepts that emerged in the sample. The findings revealed that the Chinese and Western literature assume distinctive foci regarding tourism safety and security. Specifically, the English-language literature is more comprehensive and considers both the supply and demand sides of the tourism industry.

Although the bulk of international tourism activity is still concentrated in developed countries and regions of Europe, North and South America, significant expansion of new tourism markets is also observed in developing countries. A significant challenge for world tourism is the lack of diversification of tourism activities. Contemporary international tourist activity has shown a growing trend towards diversification and change. This is challenging for many countries, including the relatively advanced tourism industry, to avoid the rapid and complex needs of international tourists. In the highly competitive international tourism market and given the emergence of new tourist destinations, improving the conditions that contribute to the development of modern tourism is not an easy process.

The general analysis of the main international trends of this sector and the most important aspects are presented. The authors present the concept of tourism development for Ukraine, based on international experience and the necessity of orientation of the government.
