The tourism sector plays a crucial role in the economic and social development of regions, making it important to analyze it from variousperspectives. One such perspective is the dynamics underlying organizational innovation within the sector, as influenced by state actions and theirimpact on outcomes. Therefore, the aim of this research is to examine the relationship between public policies and innovation in tourism companies,recognizing it as a fundamental factor for promoting actions that enhance organizational competitiveness. This correlational study focused on analyzing data obtained from a survey administered to 100 small and medium-sized tourism enterprises in a specific region of Colombiabetween 2020 and 2021. The collected data were analyzed using a second-generation multivariate method called partial least squares structuralequation modeling (PLS-SEM) through SmartPLS software. The findings of this study confirmed the existence of a significant relationship betweenthe management of public policies, specifically observed through transparency, and the level of innovation within the analyzed organizations.Moreover, the structural model exhibited a satisfactory fit, and all four hypotheses formulated for the transparency construct and its relationshipwith innovation were supported. Therefore, by enhancing governance practices such as good governance and anti-corruption measures, organizationscan foster a culture of innovation that permeates throughout their operations.

Studies on the influence of public policies on the regional tourism sector are of high scientific and practical interest, as they offer inputs to guide public management towards strengthening the tourism development of the territories. Through the structural equation model, this study took a sample 99 companies in the tourism sector in Valle del Cauca, Colombia, addressing the relationship between public policy management (PPM) and regional tourism development (RTD), from the perspective of the rational model of business performance. The findings show that the capacity of the state and its entities to comply with the requirements of the organizations, as well as the rigor to take criticism and suggestions for improvement, as a basis to strengthen their management, are the factors that best explain the relationship between the PPM and RTD based on the performance of organizations in the sector, especially focused on increasing market share, productivity, and income. Other findings and practical implications are discussed.

El artículo presenta el estudio sobre la movilidad social intrageneracional, como fenómeno que dibuja la calidad de vida, en el tránsito de una posición socioeconómica a otra y que ofrece un panorama de comprensión de la pobreza; condición para disminuir brechas de desigualdad. Como objetivo se propone indagar sobre la relación entre factores como actividad laboral, formación académica e ingreso económico, como indicadores de movilidad social intrageneracional. Se realizó un estudio correlacional en 2019, en Pichinde, corregimiento del Distrito de Santiago de Cali, Departamento del Valle del Cauca, Colombia; con una muestra representativa de 89 familias. Se aplicó un modelo de regresión lineal entre las variables que, a partir del coeficiente de Pearson (R), coeficiente de determinación (R cuadrado) y la prueba de Durvin-Watson, permiten comprobar independencia de los errores. Los resultados muestran la no correlación entre las diferentes variables de estudio, concluyéndose que las condiciones de pobreza subyacen a múltiples factores y en donde la movilidad social intra generacional se ve influenciada por variables no asociadas a la relación entre actividad laboral, formación académica e ingreso económico.
