Abstract

The artisan and tourist activity in San Antonio de Ibarra is anchored in the skills and abilities of artisans to creatively transform raw materials into works of art. This has allowed the parish to be among the most visited tourist destinations in the province of Imbabura, allowing artisans and their families to develop and have an economic activity that enhances their growth. This study describes and analyzes methodologically the current situation of the artisanal sector, particularly the administrative, accounting, financial, production and commercial aspects and establishes the effects that artisan activity has on the economic development of the parish. As a result of the research, it is determined that artisanal activity continues to be the engine that energizes the economy, generates inclusive labor sources (men, women and young people), economic income, artisan associativity and evidence of microenterprise growth and handicraft marketing shops And furniture.
