- Abstract:
Marijuana tourism is a recent phenomenon that is emerging as a result of the legalization of marijuana in several states of the United States, and Canada. In Mexico there has been an interest in legalizing marijuana for recreational purposes but there are many concerns about its possible effects on society. Based on a review of the literature and official statistics, this article examines the implications of legalizing this drug for society in general and the tourism industry in particular. The emergence of a marijuanarelated touristic offering was identified, which, if regulated, could diversify the tourist offerings of Mexican destinations. It was also found that the impacts of the legalization of marijuana tend to be mostly positive and can contribute to alleviating economic and social problems in tourist destinations. The possible implications of the legalization of this drug for Mexico are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
- Abstract:
El cannaturismo es un fenómeno que está emergiendo a raíz de la legalización de la marihuana en varios estados de los Estados Unidos, y en Canadá. En México se aprobó un proyecto de ley para legalizar esta droga para consumo recreativo pero existen muchas preocupaciones sobre sus posibles efectos en la sociedad. Con base en una revisión de literatura y estadísticas oficiales, este artículo examina las implicaciones de la legalización de esta droga para la sociedad, en general, y la industria turística en particular. Se identificó el surgimiento de una variada y dinámica oferta cannaturística, que, de implementarse de manera regulada, puede diversificar la oferta turística de los destinos mexicanos. También se encontró que los impactos de la legalización de la marihuana tienden a ser mayormente positivos y pueden contribuir a aliviar problemáticas económicas y sociales en destinos turísticos. Se discuten las posibles implicaciones de la legalización de esta droga para México. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
