- Abstract
The economic situation that some municipalities in the state of Tamaulipas are going through is worrying due to the lack of development projects, therefore, activities that contribute to improve this situation must be created, and the implementation of tourist activities can be an opportunity to do so. Therefore, the aim of this study went to identify the tourism potential in the municipality of San Fernando, located inside the limits of the so-called Cuenca de Burgos in Tamaulipas. A place considered within the 20 poorest communities in the State. In order to identify such potential, a diagnostic of the place is made by registering an inventory of the tourist resources and needs to estimate the level of tourism potential. Findings allow to identify four places (Punta de Piedra, Carvajal, Punta de Alambre and Carbonera, in order of importance) with opportunity for the development of activities of rural tourism. However, such identified places are located 33 kilometers approximately from natural areas with hydrocarbon exploitation potential. Thus, it is required the establishment of public policies to foster social and environmental responsibility of the extractive companies in order to preserve natural and cultural resources, and to design strategies to ensure public security in the area.
