Abstract (English):	The tourism sector of Cali, Colombia is fundamental for the development of the city, although it has recently had crises, mainly caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and social protests, it has been in the process of slow recovery and ups and downs due to a political environment and changing economic. In this context, this study aims to analyze how dynamic absorptive capacity (DAC) and innovation activities (ACTINN) affect performance (DE), the moderating role played by age, company size and gender of the entrepreneur and its possible significant differences in 378 MSMEs in the tourism sector of Cali. The analysis carried out using partial least squares structural equations (PLS-SEM) and multigroup analysis reveal that both absorptive capacity (CDA) and innovation activities (ACTINN) have a significant impact on business performance (DE). However, the age and size of the companies do not influence these relationships. Significant differences were found in the relationship between ACTINN and DE, moderated by the gender of the entrepreneur or manager, while the relationship between CDA and DE showed no differences in tourism MSMEs in Cali, Colombia. These findings have important theoretical and practical implications for policy makers, academia and entrepreneurs of tourism MSMEs in Cali. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish):	El sector turístico de Cali, Colombia es fundamental para el desarrollo de la ciudad, aunque ha tenido recientemente crisis, originadas principalmente por la pandemia de Covid-19 y protestas sociales, ha venido en proceso de lenta recuperación y altibajos debidos a un ambiente político y económico cambiante. En dicho contexto este estudio tiene por objetivo analizar cómo la capacidad dinámica de absorción (CDA) y las actividades de innovación (ACTINN) afectan el desempeño (DE), el papel moderador que juega en ello la edad, el tamaño de la empresa y el género del empresario y sus posibles diferencias significativas en las MiPymes del sector turístico de Cali. Los análisis realizados a 378 empresas, mediante ecuaciones estructurales con mínimos cuadrados parciales (PLS-SEM) y el análisis multigrupo revelan que tanto la capacidad de absorción (CDA) como las actividades de innovación (ACTINN) tienen un impacto significativo en el desempeño empresarial (DE). Sin embargo, la edad y el tamaño de las empresas no influyen en estas relaciones. Se encontraron diferencias significativas en la relación entre ACTINN y DE, moderadas por el género del empresario, mientras que la relación entre CDA y DE no mostró diferencias en las MiPymes turísticas de Cali, Colombia. Estos hallazgos tienen importantes implicaciones teóricas y prácticas para los responsables de políticas, la academia y los empresarios de las MiPymes turísticas de Cali. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
