El presente trabajo tiene como finalidad observar la incidencia de la actividad turística en la desigualdad a través de las instituciones participativas y de transparencia, que permiten el acceso a rentas de dicha actividad. Se toma para el análisis diez (10) países de Latinoamérica durante el período de 2002-2019 y se utilizan modelos de datos de panel dinámicos con efectos fijos que corrigen por heterocedasticidad y por sesgo de Nickell, con el fin de observar la dinámica de corto y largo plazo en las variables de interés. Los resultados muestran consistencia con la literatura sobre los efectos mixtos de la actividad turística y la desigualdad en Latinoamérica. Asimismo, añade nueva evidencia sobre dos canales de transmisión por los que la actividad turística impacta en la desigualdad: 1) mediante instituciones participativas que no involucran a grupos vulnerables en la dinámica productiva del sector turismo en el corto plazo y que no generan un efecto redistributivo a largo plazo; y 2) a través de mecanismos de transparencia que no permiten un adecuado control de la corrupción en el sector turismo, tanto a corto como a largo plazo. Esto plantea serios retos en materia de reformas y cambios estructurales necesarios en lo que refiere a mecanismos de participación y de transparencia, para que las decisiones de política pública, especialmente en el sector turismo, estén más a favor del votante medio y de grupos vulnerables.
The purpose of this study is to observe the incidence of tourism activity on inequality through participatory and transparent mechanism that help to distribute tourism rents in society. Ten (10) Latin American countries are taken for the analysis during the period 2002-2019 and dynamic fixed effects regressions that correct for heteroscedasticity and Nickell Bias are used to observe short- and long-term dynamics in the variables of interest. The results show consistency with the literature on the mixed effects of tourism activity and inequality in Latin America and add new evidence on two transmission channels through which tourism activity impacts inequality: 1) participatory institutions that do not involve vulnerable groups into the productive dynamics of the tourism sector, enhancing inequality in the short run. Also, those participatory institutions do not generate a redistributive effect in the long run and 2) through transparency mechanisms that do not allow an adequate control of corruption in the tourism sector, resulting in those institutions not generating a redistributive effect. This poses serious challenges in terms of necessary reforms and structural changes in terms of participation and transparency mechanisms so that public policy decisions, especially in the tourism sector, are more in favour of the medium voter and vulnerable groups.
