ResumenEl modelo económico neoliberal y la liberalización comercial del café trajo consigo rezagos en la actividad, desplazamiento de la producción interna que ocasionó el cierre de campos productivos poco competitivos en el mercado global y conflictos sociales como la pobreza y la migración. Ante esto, se impulsaron opciones como programas de bienestar social y empleo rural no agrícola (ERNA) entre ellos el turismo rural. La investigación se realizó en el municipio de Coatepec, Veracruz, productor de café y declarado pueblo mágico. El objetivo de la investigación fue analizar las posibilidades de incorporar a los productores de café en actividades agroturísticas para diversificar sus ingresos. Se aplicó una encuesta a 72 productores de café del municipio de Coatepec, Veracruz. Los resultados muestran que los cafeticultores del municipio tienen baja escolaridad, edad avanzada y bajos rendimientos de café. Más de 50% les gustaría ofertar servicios agroturísticos en la poda, fertilización, plantación, cosecha y paseo por senderos. Asimismo, necesitan apoyos e infraestructura para la implementación de proyectos turísticos. Se concluye que los bajos rendimientos, falta de apoyos gubernamentales y la baja rentabilidad del café inciden en la posibilidad de los productores en participar en actividades turísticas como complemento a sus actividades cafetaleras. AbstractThe neoliberal economic model and the liberalization trade of coffee brought lags in activity, displacement of domestic production that caused the closure of uncompetitive fields in the global market and social conflicts such as poverty and migration. Considering this, options such as social welfare programs and nonfarm rural employment (RNFE) including rural tourism were promoted. The research was conducted in Coatepec, Veracruz, coffee producer and declared "magical town". The aim of the research was to analyse the possibilities of incorporating coffee producers in agro-tourism activities to diversify their income. A survey was administered to 72 coffee producers. The results showed that, the municipality coffee farmers have low education, elderly, and low coffee yields. Over 50% would like to offer agro-tourism services in pruning, fertilizing, planting, harvesting and hiking. They also need support and infrastructure for the implementation of tourism projects. We concluded that, low yields, lack of government support and low profitability affect the ability of the producers for participating in tourism to supplement their coffee activities.
