Using an interpretative approach, this research involved the study of the beliefs, values and models that shape the experience of travelling for millennial young people in Mexico was carried out to classify what types of tourists are visiting Texcoco. A qualitative study was carried out by a group of young university students from the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México, in the Texcoco region of the metropolitan area of Mexico City. The theoretical approach is based on the work of Schütz and Lalive, taking ethos as a base category. The methodological technique used was the interview, applying a discourse analysis to the meta-texts obtained in their temporal, social and spatial dimensions. The findings facilitated the configuration of two ethos: the traditional and the liberator, with the differentiation lying in the sociocultural anchors that young people have from their beliefs and values.
