Resumo: Tourism in the 21st century has undergone significant transformations compared to the traditional practices of the past. Tourist aesthetics have become broader and subjectivized, while traveler participation has become more diverse, active, and selective. Topics that were once taboo, such as the relationship between tourism and sex, are now the subject of prolific academic exploration. This study aims to present an overview of the preferences and tourism-sexual potential of the main destinations in Mexico, using Territorial Selectivity and Spatial Preference as a frame of reference. It investigates how several variables may influence the link between tourism and sex and analyzes the geographic characteristics of these destinations. The methodology combines qualitative and quantitative approaches: first, the destinations are characterized through documentary research; then, a mathematical model is established to group the cases through simple linear regression. The study concludes by identifying, in five categories, the presence and tourist-sexual dynamism of the destinations analyzed. It shows that the most intense environments of this phenomenon are located on the coasts and in the country's large cities.
Keywords: Tourism and sex, Territorial selectivity, Spatial Preference, Linear regression.
