“…Latin American cities are improving public transportation so that people can access all types of spaces. There is a need for innovative public transport networks and infrastructures in Latin American cities to cover tourists' and citizens' needs [102]. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the global demand for air travel remained strong in 2023, and commercial airlines in the Latin American region surpassed their pre-pandemic levels [103].…”

The main goal of this manuscript is to analyse Latin American theme parks as tourist attractions for stimulating future tourism demand after the pandemic crisis. The methodology used in this study is a set of qualitative and quantitative indicators for measuring the most visited Latin American parks from 2011 to 2022 and where they are localised to address the importance of the location of these theme parks and the cities in which they are operating. The results reveal that Latin American parks such as Six Flags Mexico, Beto Carrero World, Hopi Hari, La Feria de Chapultepec and Parque Xcaret are tourist attractions that promote and improve the tourism industry in Latin American cities, and their entertainment activities attract millions of visitors each year. One of the most important findings from this study is that the bus is the primary and most efficient (regarding travel time) mode of transportation in the cities analysed, as well as that there is a high correlation between the success of tourist attractions, their accessibility by plane and on land and their distance to Latin American cities. Moreover, this research constitutes an empirical illustration of the importance of theme parks in cities as tourist attractions and provides a new emerging contribution to the literature on the relationship between theme parks and the means of transportation at tourist destinations.

“…Empirical leverage is provided by the diverse urban development paths followed by cities within and across countries. This is particularly true for investments in subway systems, undertaken by some cities but not by many others (Pasquale et al 2016;Costa and Fernandes 2012;Jones 2008;Post 2007;Cudahy 1990). Subway installation has been motivated by the belief that it will shorten commuting times, reduce traffic congestion and vehicular emissions, and promote higher-density residential development near subway stations.…”

“…After that, photo registration of passengers with the right to free travel takes place [13], GPS-coordinates and other system information are defined. All processes occur by the interaction between the controller, based on the single board mini-computer Raspberry Pi [14], and peripheral devices at the client side [15].…”
