The present piece of research work was designed to examine wage differences and gender discrim‑ ination in the nodes of the tourist regions of Mexico over the last two decades, using Mincer’s model of Wages and the detailed breakdown of Oaxaca‑Blinder. This research was carried out in 8 Mexican tourist nodes. The study variables were gender, income per hour, years of schooling and experience. Multiple linear regres‑ sions were used to carry out the econometric analyses. Evidence of wage discrimination against women was found in all the tourist nodes, ranging between 0.43 and 1.57. The lowest level of wage discrimination is experienced in Los Cabos, Baja California Sur and the highest in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua.
