Resumen: El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las percepciones de la población de Pisté, en el estado mexicano de Yucatán, sobre los impactos económicos, socioculturales y ambientales que el turismo que llega a la zona arqueológica de Chichen-Itzá ocasiona en la comunidad. Pisté es punto obligado de paso para llegar a esta zona arqueológica y el turismo representa la principal fuente de empleo para sus habitantes. Para realizar esta investigación recurrimos a un método cualitativo en el que se realizaron 18 entrevistas semiestructuradas, así como trabajo de observación in situ. Pudimos observar que las percepciones de la población con respecto al turismo son en general positivas toda vez que para los residentes los beneficios económicos son todavía mayores que los costos sociales y ambientales. Aunque los habitantes reconocen ciertos impactos negativos provocados por la afluencia turística, la fuerte dependencia de esta actividad hace que los minimicen en aras de la economía local. Palabras clave: impactos del turismo, percepción de los locales, Chichen Itzá, desarrollo turístico
Abstract: The objective of this article is to analyze the perception of the Piste residents, in the Mexican state of Yucatan, about the economic, socio-cultural and environmental impacts of tourism that reaches the archaeological site of Chichen-Itza. Within this tourist process, Piste is located as an obligatory point of passage to reach this archaeological site and this site represents the main source of employment for the inhabitants. To carry out this research, we used a qualitative method in which 18 semi-structured interviews were carried out, as well as on-site observation work. We were able to observe that the perceptions of the population regarding tourism are positive since for the residents the economic benefits are even greater than the social and environmental costs. Given that the population is heavily dependent on tourism, the tendency is to justify the negative impacts for the sake of the local economy.
