Tourism today, more than a simple trip, is based on a life experience, which has led to the care and preservation of the country's cultural heritage since they are the ones that capture the attention of tourists and make them visit a certain place; “Tourists demand cities that have movement and a typical semblance of the destinations reflected in their music, food, trends in even idioms.” This sector achieves what others do not, which is the mixture of cultures, it allows us to learn about history, customs and so on, it manages to consolidate ties between peoples focused on their progress and development.
