Cuicocha, as an attractive star, registers an average of 180,000 visitors between national and foreigners every year, which represents an opportunity for the development of community tourism services. However, possibly due to the ignorance of the tourist value of the comuneros and by the scarce management of public and private entities, the natural and cultural tourist resources existing in the seven communities are in process of deterioration. In this sense, a study was carried out in the seven communities, valuing the natural and cultural resources through an inventory of tourist attractions, and determined the interest of the comuneros to join the tourist activity inside and outside their communities. |
