Resumo: Starting from the concept of tourism as a dynamic economic activity, capable of maintaining a favorable growth rate, its influence on the sustainable development of the main cities of Oaxaca with a population greater than or close to 15 thousand inhabitants during 2000-2015 is analyzed. The statistical methodology of linear regression is applied, with the assumption that tourism growth increases the levels of sustainable development of the territory. The analysis shows that the tourism-development relationship has strengths and weaknesses in the cities analyzed. The greatest strength is of a sectoral nature, with emphasis on tourism development, training of human resources and environmental care. Territorially tourism manifests weaknesses to promote the improvement of sustainable development, although the small cities of Oaxaca stand out, which should be valued because most of them are the central place of microregions with great biodiversity and bioculturality. A review of tourism public policies is recommended to make its territorial impact more effective.
