Abstract

Abstract: In Ecuador, tourism as a socioeconomic activity has been growing in recent years. An example of this is its immersion in different areas of social interest. On the other hand, in the country, there is a large percentage of people who have a disability, a circumstance that for these citizens means a significant disadvantage in terms of equity. This research seeks to know and analyze the impact that auditory sensory experiences can have on blind people in the canton of Montúfar in the year 2022. For this purpose, a qualitative methodology is used through personal interviews with members of the Asociación de No Videntes Nueva Vida. An auditory tool is also used to find the most relevant sounds generated by tourist sites. As main finding, it is concluded that being blind people, they have a more developed sense of hearing, and when listening to the auditory material they have felt enthusiastic and with high expectations to visit the places with their whole family and experience live what they have been able to hear in the auditory material.
