Este proceso ha traído consigo, en forma no intencional, la existencia de una infraestructura que ha favorecido el crecimiento del turismo. Hay cuatro secciones básicas en el trabajo: a) la referente al lugar que Monterrey ocupa en la jerarquía turística de México; b) la parte más extensa del escrito explica la base natural y cultural sobre la que se ha promovido la actividad turística en los últimos años; c) la que contiene los resultados de la encuesta a partir de los cuales se revelan los rasgos territoriales notables del turismo regiomontano, y d) la parte final expone algunas ideas concluyentes que apuntan a predecir un crecimiento del turismo en Monterrey, en el futuro mediato.Instituto de Geografía2012-02-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.investigacionesgeograficas.unam.mx/index.php/rig/article/view/3004910.14350/rig.30049Investigaciones Geográficas; No. 58; 106Investigaciones Geográficas; Núm. 58; 1062448-72790188-4611reponame:Investigaciones Geográficasinstname:UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AUTÓNOMA DE MÉXICOinstacron:UNAMspahttps://www.investigacionesgeograficas.unam.mx/index.php/rig/article/view/30049/27928info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/300492024-11-05T15:50:26Z
