Abstract

This article analyzes the consequences of public policies that are developed based on
socially constructed definitions of the different actors. I will focus on the national
Mexican Tourism program “Magic Villages” to explore the role and impact that public
policy might have on shaping the national Mexican identity. I argue that tourism is not
only to be understood as an economic factor, but also as significant symbolic space of
interactions in the contemporary societies.
