Propuesta de modelo de desarrollo agroturístico comunitario para la parroquia rural El Morro, cantón Guayaquil, provincia del Guayas.

Abstract

Agrotourism or rural tourism is one of the very poorly known and exploited typifications in countries where agriculture is one of the main activities. One of the factors, beyond the little interest of the decentralized autonomous governments, is the ignorance of a model that develops strategies for the implementation of this type of offer that contributes not only with the strengthening of the local agricultural culture, but also in aspects of sustainability ensuring the conservation of the natural element of the locality. Rural tourism is demanded worldwide by people who seek the experience of agriculture as a factor that renews its relationship with the nature and culture of the people, seeing the peasant as an important member of their large community. This work demonstrates how community tourism is a conscious and real alternative for communities, and specifically for this work, for coastal communities, respecting design and nature that combine with traditions and present agricultural processes not only for tourism activity, but also as a driving factor for agricultural activities in coastal communities of the province of Guayas.
