La lealtad turística se define como el compromiso de los visitantes hacia un destino, y una imagen positiva puede aumentar la probabilidad de comportamientos favorables, como revisitar un lugar y promoverlo a través de boca a boca. La metodología empleada es de tipo cuantitativo y transversal, utilizando un cuestionario estructurado basado en la literatura relevante. Los datos se recopilaron a través de un muestreo por bola de nieve, enfocándose en los residentes de Acapulco. Se realizó un análisis estadístico con SPSS, aplicando un modelo de regresión lineal para evaluar la relación entre las dimensiones cognitivas y afectivas de la imagen percibida y el comportamiento futuro de los habitantes, los resultados muestran una fuerte correlación entre la imagen percibida y el comportamiento futuro, destacando que las percepciones afectivas tienen un mayor peso que las cognitivas. El mejoramiento en la percepción afectiva del destino puede incrementar significativamente la lealtad de los habitantes, impulsando comportamientos favorables como la recomendación del destino y la defensa ante críticas, además de proponer que las políticas públicas deben enfocarse en fortalecer la imagen positiva de Acapulco para fomentar su sostenibilidad turística a largo plazo.
