Considering Latin America as a whole is relatively new to the tourism industry, and taking into account that tourism plays such a huge role in Mexico’s annual income, it is imperative that all implications of tourism be considered. That being said, the implications of Teotihuacan’s changing landscape should also be considered through the archaeological lens.
