Sustainable Community-Based Tourism in Mexico

A cross-sectional study with an explanatory approach was conducted. The sample consisted of 341 valid responses from a structured questionnaire administered to individuals aged 18 or older from Mexico. Data collection was carried out between November 2025 and March 2026 using a non-probabilistic convenience sampling approach. The constructs validated in the scale are authenticity and community empowerment (AUT), integral sustainability (SOST), ethical co-design and tourism responsibility (RES), tourist experience (EXT), and local benefits and distributive justice (JUST). The instrument was developed around four key latent variables, which were measured using five-point Likert-type items (1 = strongly disagree; 5 = strongly agree).

本研究采用解释性横断面研究方法开展。研究样本为针对墨西哥18岁及以上人群发放结构化问卷回收的341份有效答卷。数据采集于2025年11月至2026年3月期间完成，采用非概率便利抽样法。本研究所用量表验证的构念包括：真实性与社区赋权（authenticity and community empowerment, AUT）、整体可持续性（integral sustainability, SOST）、伦理协同设计与旅游责任（ethical co-design and tourism responsibility, RES）、旅游体验（tourist experience, EXT）以及本地收益与分配正义（local benefits and distributive justice, JUST）。该调研工具围绕4个核心潜变量构建，采用李克特5级计分条目进行测量（1分=完全不同意，5分=完全同意）。
