The document was developed with a descriptive quantitative approach that used documentary review and analysis techniques of various tourist indicators of the destination. In conclusion, it is highlighted that the city of San Miguel de Allende has individual indicators in various stages of the life cycle: Development, Consolidation, and Decline; globally, it has been in the Stagnation stage since 2015 with prominent features of Decline and Rejuvenation.
