Resumen

Los mensajes visuales son ampliamente usados para influir positivamente en las actitudes conservacionistas de los visitantes de destinos turísticos, estos suelen ser de carácter persuasivo o prohibitivo. De acuerdo con la literatura las actitudes se clasifican como explicitas (conscientes) o implícitas (subconscientes) y pueden existir diferencias entre ellas hacia un mismo objeto de actitud. El trabajo realizado presenta el análisis de dichas actitudes hacia mensajes visuales prohibitivos y persuasivos enfocados en la correcta disposición de la basura en un atractivo turístico. Se aplicó un cuestionario estructurado como medición explicita y el Test de Asociación Implícita para la medición implícita en dos destinos de sol y playa del Caribe Mexicano. Después de las pruebas realizadas se establece que ambos mensajes (persuasivo y prohibitivo) son efectivos a nivel explicito; sin embargo, a nivel implícito el mensaje persuasivo produce actitudes más favorables, siendo una mejor oportunidad para influir positivamente en actitudes conservacionistas.
