Some considerations about taking a gap year before university education.

 Some considerations about taking a gap year before university education.
By Ma. de los Angeles Mendoza González

 

     Every year, in America and other countries, lots of young people decide to take a gap year before they start a university education. It can be a good idea or not, depending on their plans for the future and how this gap year is profitable or add value to the student’s background. In this document, some of these considerations will be discussed as follows.

     First of all, it’s necessary to consider the student’s needs, for example, some people need to work to get some money and save it to pay for the loans obtained to study at the university. Another element of consideration is that a year gap can be used to think and be sure of their decision because sometimes students can be confused or unsure about the degree, they want to enroll in. 


     Secondly, some students can use the gap year to travel abroad and take some courses or visit some interesting places to enjoy life before they get into university studies, which can result in hard work. Also, if the student has some health problems or is lacking the desire to continue studying, taking a gap year can be of benefit.

     What is more, students can learn a lot and grow up. So, they will be able to take advantage of the knowledge and background acquired during the gap year and they will give better opinions and obtain conclusions based on their own experience, which can result in better grades and getting a better scholarship.

     On the other hand, as a Latin-American people and based on my own experience as a professor and a student I do not agree with the idea of taking a gap year because I think time flies and people need to study according to the scheduled scholar year, I mean there is no time to lose. Competition is hard and there are thousands of students graduating each year.

    Additionally, it is necessary to take into account that in America and Mexico, for example, there are different circumstances for living and studying. We have public universities where you can study for very cheap quotes, and the students will not have the need of getting a loan, as happens in America where even the public universities or state universities charge an expensive registration fee and monthly payments. Then, most of the students do not have to worry about taking a gap year for working and saving money to pay for loans or university.

     Despite the fact I explained in the previous paragraph, the economic situation in Mexico and Latin America is not as good as in some places in America. So, families cannot afford to help their sons or daughters to take a gap year because implies that they will be losing time instead of studying, or worst they will be doing nothing but expanding the family money.

     Finally, I really think taking a gap year can be beneficial for students depending on their personal and family circumstances. Besides, to understand the different opinions and points of view on this issue, we need to have a picture of the social and economic situation, the country, and the student’s needs, customs, and ways of life.

It is not easy to establish a single opinion, over


all when you are living in a country like Mexico or in a Latin-American country, because life is hard, people need to work a lot, and there is a lot of inequality, even as it was established that some public universities are almost free not all young people can access to the opportunity of studying a degree. Poverty is growing each year and although scholarships are usually given by the government, sometimes people need to work instead of study. Thinking about taking a gap year to travel abroad and enjoy life, results in insulting if we face the reality of our countries. That is why I agree with the benefits of taking a gap year, but also, I feel sad because it is not a problem we have, it is not a discussion, and we simply cannot take a gap year unless is for working.

The importance of international tourism in Mexico

The importance of international tourism in Mexico
Dr. Ma. de los Angeles Mendoza González
 

     Tourism is a very important source of income and comprises a great diversity of elements, both material, and human. Mexico has exotic places, landscapes, beaches, and archaeological sites, among other elements that attract a large number of people year after year. This document will address economic data and important tourism sites in Mexico that allow us to visualize a broad panorama of what this issue represents today. 
    Tourism is considered a social, cultural, and economic phenomenon that involves the displacement of people to countries or places outside their usual environment for personal, professional, or business reasons. These people are called travelers (who may be either tourists or hikers; residents or non-residents) and tourism covers their activities, some of which involve tourist expenditure.  Tourism can be national and international.
Despite the pandemic experienced in recent years, tourism has remained one of the main pillars of the Mexican economy. The National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) for its acronym in Spanish, establishes that in 2021 tourism revenues represented 7.5% of gross domestic product (GDP), which is equivalent to around 95, 475 million dollars.  The population employed in Mexico's tourism sector amounted to 4 million 264 thousand people employed in the fourth quarter of 2021.  The number of international  tourists in 2021 was 31.9 million during 2021, 31.3% more than in 2020. By 2022, the Ministry of Tourism (Sectur) estimated the arrival of more than 40 million international tourists.  International tourists come mainly from the United States of America (78.9%) and the rest from Colombia, Brazil, Canada, and France.
As is known, the most visited places are the archaeological sites, since they represent the sample of the ancestral culture of the Mexican people. Beaches occupy an important place as well.  In addition to Mexico City, for its cosmopolitan life, theaters, museums, and of course historical places such as Chapultepec Castle and the historic center are of paramount importance.  The most visited beaches were Los Cabos in Baja California Sur, Cozumel  and Cancun  in Quintana Roo, and Progreso in Yucatan.
As for the archaeological sites, the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) has under its protection a total of 187 archaeological zones open to the public throughout the country, 365 days a year.  Regarding the most visited areas in 2021, Chichén Itzá in  Yucatan is number one, followed by Tulum in Quintana Roo,  Teotihuacán in the State of Mexico, Cobá in Quintana Roo and Palenque in Chiapas.
In addition to travel, air and land transport benefits. As well as hotels, restaurants, local pottery businesses, jewelry, and other handicrafts, among others.  Of course, one of the great additional attractions for international travelers is  the exchange parity ratio of the dollar and euro between the main currencies, with the value of the peso. Visitors find cheap prices, in addition to beautiful places, delicious food, folklore, and ancestral customs.

     In conclusion, several important elements can be established, such as:
a)       Tourism occupies a very important place in the Mexican economy.
 
b)      Tourism can be national and international.
c)       The number of international visitors continued despite the pandemic. Especially during 2022 when the sanitary restriction was lifted.
d)      International tourists mainly visit beaches and archaeological sites.
e)      Mexican culture is important and unique.
f)        Local hotels, restaurants, and businesses benefit from international tourism.
g)       The value of the foreign currency (dollar and euro) concerning the peso, represents a great attraction for international tourists.
 
Therefore, it is convenient to reflect that Mexico has known how to take advantage of its tourist and cultural attractions. For decades, Mexico obtained income exclusively from oil, while today it has diversified and in addition  to the export of agricultural products and manufacturing and remittances, important income is obtained from tourism, which forces to improve the hotel infrastructure, roads, and train the staff so that they can live up to the needs and expectations of tourists,  including quality in service, efficiency and of course the learning of foreign languages to be able to grant better experiences.
