Resumen

La pandemia de COVID-19 nos hizo aprender a vivir con un renovado sentido de los límites y un nuevo nivel de incertidumbre. Una de las respuestas de gobernanza que surgió de este panorama fue el cambio al análisis de escenarios, que genera narrativas sobre múltiples posibilidades futuras. Este artículo trata de responder a las preguntas de por qué y cómo utilizar el análisis de escenarios al definir la política de desarrollo turístico. Sobre este estudio se opta por realizar una revisión semissistemática con la intención de ampliar el campo de discusión y explorar nuevos caminos vinculados a la temática de la política de desarrollo turístico. Respecta a la política de desarrollo turístico, el uso de escenarios puede resultar una técnica experimental valiosa para desarrollar ideas innovadoras. Con ese fin, en este artículo se propone un modelo de proceso de desarrollo de escenarios para formuladores de políticas y tomadores de decisiones.
