SANCHEZ GONZALEZ, Diego. Elderly people in the planning of the rural tourist space in Tamaulipas. Pap. poblac [online]. 2008, vol.14, n.55, pp.59-94. ISSN 2448-7147.
This research describes the demographic aging process of the rural communities in Tamaulipas' IV District, one of the regions with the greatest marginalization index in Mexico and Latin America. Likewise, rural tourism is proposed as an alternative of regional development through the implication of aged people in the planning and development of the tourist space. The methodology starts from a comprehensive bibliographic revision, analysis of databases and fieldwork based on personal surveys that allowed perceiving the situation of these municipalities' elderly people as well as learning their predisposition to collaborate with alternatives of rural tourism based on their knowledge of the natural environment.
