Diseño de una ruta turística a pie de comidas tradicionales de Guayaquil.

Abstract

The main objective of this degree work is to disseminate a proposed tourist route within the city of Guayaquil where the gastronomic heritage of our country is made known. This route is designed in such a way that it can be traveled on foot through tourist and downtown streets, accompanied by a list of several large and small locals that were recommended because they are characterized by genuine Creole seasoning and a specific star dish. As the methodology used in this research, we chose to work under a non-experimental, descriptive, and mixed approach design, through which the techniques and instruments for data collection were applied to the study population, made up of 111 people, divided between 104 tourist users and 7 owners of traditional food establishments. This proposal is aimed at tourists and locals who wish to taste the Ecuadorian gastronomic variety, all within a single area of the city (downtown Guayaquil). As a result, as results and conclusions were obtained, it was possible to verify the interest of tourists in touring the tourist route, as well as a desire for growth at a general level on the part of the owners of the establishments, which will benefit from this route design, attracting more customers, and making known their traditional dishes.
