It was concluded that tourism policy in Mexico is a promoter of private enterprise at a rate that is linked to a paradigm of economic policy, while in the case of Venezuela the policy seeks the regulation of tourism towards the figure of the State as main promoter of tourism as an industry but as a social process that should benefit the whole community in their daily development.
