Estudio de factibilidad para la creación de granjas turísticas en la zona Rural de la isla Santa Cruz-Galápagos

Abstract

The present work analyses the necessity for new options for tourism for the inhabitants of rural areas on Santa Cruz Island in Galapagos, Ecuador. As these areas most value agricultural products including all local flora, an opportunity to help these inhabitants with economic and profitable alternatives is made viable by regenerating interest for the importance of these relatively untapped areas to major tourism operators and competent authorities. Given that the majority of tourism is currently carried out through navigable tours, this research provides scope to enter into new tourism markets with a broader range of tourism and alternative activities for Santa Cruz Island.
