Modelo de gestión para el desarrollo del turismo rural en la parroquia de San Lucas, año 2019

Abstract

Abstract: This project proposes a management model for the development of rural community tourism in the parish of San Lucas, which aims to provide an administrative tool to guide local authorities and community members, about the process to implement touristic development and growth in the territory. Through this management model, we seek to improve the quality of life of local communities by influencing an influx of economic growth through touristic activities, which will consequently promote participation in the community through the integration of rural tourism alternatives, all for which we have prepared an analysis of the central and surrounding territories of the parish. Moreover, this study offers an assessment of the entire touristic span that San Lucas has to offer, and elaborates on new touristic offerings identified with the participation of community members. This management model was modeled after the methodology provided by the CODESPA foundation, whose mission is to reduce poverty in the most vulnerable rural sectors of the world through efficient management and development models, aimed to be achieved through promoting technical development and offering quality products.
