          Abstract

          La ciudad de Guanajuato en México es un destino turístico reconocido por su atractivo cultural que llama a turistas nacionales de diversas partes del país. El conocimiento sobre la selección específica de alojamiento por parte de turistas culturales es aún poco precisa, por lo que el presente estudio pretende contribuir de manera cuantitativa a su esclarecimiento al explorar la correlación entre la ocupación hotelera en la ciudad de Guanajuato y el número de turistas nacionales que viajan al destino para asistir a eventos culturales. Se encontró una correlación estadísticamente significativa entre este segmento de turistas y la ocupación de hoteles de lujo, sugiriendo que los turistas que viajan a Guanajuato para ir a un evento cultural seleccionan un hotel de lujo para pernoctar. Con esta información se procedió a explorar cambios estructurales en la ocupación de cuartos de hoteles de lujo de la ciudad durante Julio 2003 a Octubre 2016. Con el paquete Strucchange para el software R se identificaron tres puntos de quiebre y se observó que éstos están relacionados, en su mayoría, con aumentos en la ocupación hotelera del segmento de lujo; lo que sugiere que están vinculados con fortalecimiento en el sector turismo a nivel estatal gracias a la asignación de presupuesto extraordinario, además del respaldo de contar con el distintivo de ser un destino confiable.
