The purpose of this paper is to offer an up-to-date review of the gaze, proposing new research agendas with regard to the various gazes actively operating at destinations.

The study thoroughly and systematically reviewed the existing literature by gathering papers related to gaze research in tourism contexts. Analysis of existing knowledge is centered around the gaze and a triadic framework among three key stakeholders.

A theoretical schema of the gaze was developed via a thorough examination of existing studies. The framework disclosed the subject of the gaze, be it tourist-initiated and/or host-initiated, and tourist–host interactions. Along with five dominant types (tourist gaze, intratourist gaze, local gaze, mutual gaze and reverse gaze), a triadic framework among stakeholders was further revealed.

The literature review provides meaningful insights into gaze research in the tourism field, representing the first effort to delineate relationships among relevant stakeholders. Further, this study proposes future research priorities related to the tourist–host relationship for destination experience development.

El propósito de esta investigación es ofrecer una reseña actualizada de la mirada del turista y proponer nuevas agendas de investigación sobre las diversas miradas que funcionan activamente en los destinos.

Este estudio revisó de manera exhaustiva y sistemática la literatura existente sobre la mirada del turista mediante la recopilación de estudios e investigaciones relacionados. El análisis del conocimiento actual está enfocado en la mirada del turista y en el marco tripartito entre las tres principales partes interesadas.

A través del examen exhaustivo de los estudios existentes, se desarrolló un modelo teórico de la mirada del turista. El marco revela el objecto de la mirada del turista, ya sea iniciada por el turista y/o por el anfitrión, y las interacciones entre ambos. Junto con los cinco tipos principales de mirada (turista, intra-turista, local, mutua e inversa), el marco tripartito entre las partes interesadas se reveló a detalle.

La reseña bibliográfica ofrece una comprensión a fondo de la investigación y los estudios sobre la mirada del turista, lo cual representa el primer intento de delinear las relaciones entre las partes interesadas. Además, en el estudio se proponen prioridades de investigación relacionadas a la relación turista-anfitrión para el desarrollo de futuras experiencias turísticas.

A summary of the economic impact resulting from the celebration of a sporting mega-event in the city of Cali, Colombia, is carried out in this article.

The impacts are estimated by means of the systematic effects produced by the activities of investment/expenditure of the identified agents and the consequent multiplying effects captured from an input-output model.

The World Games represented a new income flow to the city of Cali of $101.036 million pesos (≡US$53.4 mill.) and 9.598 jobs were created (≡7,711 full-time jobs). Additionally, 2,174 foreign tourists and 11,250 national tourists were attracted to the city.

The article contributes with innovative aspects methodologically speaking, useful for future studies of economic impact in cities with low tourism located in developing countries.

During the last 15 years of the 20th century cities in the mexican northern border experienced an impressive increase of foreign investment specially in electronics and autoparts. Word class techniques, certifications like ISO 9000, more sophisticated manufacturing processes spread trough a handful of very big plants. Although these changes changed the skills requirements in technical levels, no significative evidence has been found in labor lowest levels, were routine operations and scarce opportunities to build a career are the most common situation.
