Keywords: Tourism, culture, tradition

Abstract

The tangible or intangible cultural heritage of tourist destinations provides this opportunity, as it allows the traveller to come into contact with the culture of the other and be a protagonist of it, resulting in a greater interaction of tourists, in this sense, this document takes as a case study the celebration of the Day of the Dead in the region known in the State of Hidalgo, Mexico, due to its geocultural delimitation, as the Huasteca, with the objective of delimiting the existing relationship between tourism and culture in addition to demonstrating the elements that are considered necessary to generate the development of tourism in this geographical area with the aim of maximising the benefits for the local community.
