Abstract
La industria del turismo a nivel global ha experimentado un crecimiento sostenido en las últimas décadas, muestra un interés progresivo hacia las áreas rurales, por su tranquilidad, naturaleza, biodiversidad, tradiciones y cultura; aspectos que se deben preservar y aprovechar a través de una adecuada orientación estratégica. Dentro del marco de las tendencias turísticas mundiales el turismo comunitario es uno de los que tiene mayores aceptaciones en el mercado turístico. En el caso del Ecuador comenzó a configurarse con dinamismo caracterizado el mismo porque buena parte de las reservas naturales del país se encuentran en manos de las comunidades indígenas, es así que el turismo sostenible a través de esta modalidad se ha venido preocupando del mantenimiento de la diversidad étnica, cultural y biológica del país, además su desarrollo se encuentra apoyado por actuales proyectos y leyes normativas para su puesta en marcha. En consecuencia con lo anterior, el objetivo de la presente investigación consiste en presentar un modelo para la gestión integrada del turismo comunitario, a partir de la concepción del desarrollo del destino turístico, el modelo propuesto para su implantación propone un procedimiento, el cual en su estructura sigue los principios del cooperativismo y la colaboración entre las partes que interactúan, como vía de alcanzar la integración del producto, seleccionando para ello como área de estudio la región amazónica del Ecuador y específicamente la provincia de Pastaza, permitiendo contribuir a lograr el desarrollo local de la región.
The tourism industry globally has grown steadily in recent decades, showing a progressive interest oriented toward rural areas due to characteristics of tranquility, nature, biodiversity, traditions and culture. Therefore, such aspects should be preserved and can be leveraged through adequate strategic orientation. Within the framework of global tourism trends community tourism is among the options that arise in the tourism market, and is one that is more likely to grow in the future. In the case of Ecuador, community tourism has become more dynamic over the years since many of the natural reserves in the country are in the hands of indigenous communities. Sustainable tourism in this sense is concerned with the maintenance of ethnic, cultural and biological diversity of the country, and current projects and regulatory laws support its development. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to present a strategy for the integrated management of community tourism following the principles of cooperation and collaboration between stakeholders, this study focuses on the Amazon region of Ecuador, specifically the province of Pastaza, in respect to how community tourism contributes to local development.
