Abstract

This study examines the link between sustainable tourism and entrepreneurial education in Michoacán, analyzing their impact on promoting regional economic growth and international collaboration. The crucial role of the tourism sector as a driver of local development and job creation is emphasized, as well as its connection with entrepreneurship training and innovation. The research delves into the relevance of an interculturally-focused education in fostering sustainable tourism in Michoacán, promoting appreciation and consideration for cultural and linguistic diversity. Additionally, it evaluates the significance of global cooperation in the evolution of Michoacán's tourism industry, and how this relates to the promotion of academic exchanges and collaborative research initiatives. The study underscores the need to implement a participatory tourism management model in Michoacán, harmoniously integrating various stakeholders, including local governments, indigenous communities, and businesses in the sector. In conclusion, it is proposed that entrepreneurial education and the promotion of sustainable tourism can serve as effective strategies to boost local economic development and strengthen international cooperation in the Michoacán region.
