Abstract: Tourism has been proposed as a way of achieving development, creating the idea of higher incomes for the population, as well as the possibility of energizing regional and local economies, starting with extracting value from these territories and providing related services. The following work reflects how religious tourism in rural areas in Mexico has become an instrument for the reproduction of capital through precarious economies, in the context of rural young people who make a living from constant travel in search of income opportunities at religious parties and sanctuaries.
