Abstract

Rural tourism represents an option to promote local development, as well as an alternative to reduce the depopulation of rural areas. The objective was to estimate the impact of rural tourism on economic income and determine the effect of rural tourism on the decision to emigrate. The methodology for estimating the impact is a quasi-experimental design and the decision to migrate is estimated with the probit econometric model, the source of information is the primary data collected through a semi-structured questionnaire, with a sample size of 178 observations by simple random sampling. The results report that 21,80 % of households with rural tourism perceived to have improved their economic income than if they had not started in tourism. Furthermore, we find that 34,42 % and 73,50 % of the heads of households with and without rural tourism would be willing to emigrate, respectively; heads of households who have ventured into rural tourism have a lower probability of emigrating by 28 %; It is demonstrated that rural tourism contributes to the retention of emigration and depopulation.
