  México posee 14 ciudades patrimonio mundial, lo cual hace que se considere un destino turístico por excelencia, así como de gran atractivo para los visitantes. Este tipo de ciudades son lugares que cumplen con requerimientos fijados por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (UNESCO) por albergar monumentos, pinturas, artesanías, edificios, manuscritos, películas, esculturas, conjuntos históricos y arquitectónicos, colecciones de ciencia, fotografías, sitios arqueológicos u otros recursos patrimoniales de interés. El objetivo de este trabajo es demostrar la importancia de las ciudades patrimonio en México como factor de atracción de flujos turísticos. Se utilizó una metodología cualitativo-descriptiva con manejo de fuentes secundarias como artículos, libros, webs, etc., dando como resultado que este tipo de patrimonio define la identidad cultural de un pueblo, estado y/o país, además de ser un activo económico en cuanto a la recepción de divisas y creación de empleos, por lo que, en definitiva, representa un motor de desarrollo turístico y socioeconómico en general.

  Palabras Clave:  Destinos turísticos patrimoniales, ciudades patrimonio mundial, turismo cultural, México.
