Pre‐pandemic profiles and the image constructs of tourists on the island of Santa Cruz, The Galapagos
The Galapagos Islands, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are celebrated for their unique biodiversity and for the vital role they play in the local economy of the various islands, through tourism. Initially, ecotourists, drawn by a deep interest in nature, were the main visitors. However, the rise of mass tourism has shifted the visitor profile over time. We surveyed pre‐COVID‐19 visitors to the island of Santa Cruz to explore how ecotourism has evol…
Navigating the Galápagos paradox
In tourism literature and practice, pro-growth tourism management discourses argue that tourism growth can decouple from its negative impacts through improved management, whereas heterodox approaches reject tourism’s growth ethic and argue decoupling is infeasible and unlikely. Heterodox tourism scholarship increasingly seeks to imagine what a ‘beyond growth’ transition may entail, through concepts such as regenerative tourism, degrowth, and buen…
Relación de la naturaleza y sociedad vinculada al tiempo de ocio de los visitantes en dos parques en un valle seco interandino, Ecuador
Este artículo analiza la relación naturaleza y sociedad a través de la percepción de los usuarios de dos parques (Cochasquí y Jerusalem) ubicados en un valle seco interandino, cerca de Quito. La metodología empleada fue eminentemente cuantitativa (encuestas), que fue complementada con técnicas cualitativas (entrevistas semi-estructuradas y observación). Entre los principales hallazgos se detecta la importancia que dan los usuarios a la naturaleza…
Culture-shaped Mental Models and the Governance of Innovation in Tourist Destinations - Comparative Evidence from Ecuador and Azerbaijan
Destinations in Developing Countries often display shortages when it comes to the creation and use of new innovative knowledge, thus inhibiting their possibilities to unfold the potential of tourism as a means for sustainable regional development. Findings from tourism research increasingly point to the nature of tourism stakeholders' mindsets as an inhibiting factor in this regard. However, empirical evidence is scarce on the complex structure a…
Residentes, conservación, desarrollo y turismo en Galápagos
Tourism from its initial stage generates socio-environmental impacts in the host place and it is important to analyze them to determine the situation in which a destination is found. This research analyzes the perceptions of residents regarding the tourist activity in Puerto Ayora - Galapagos, taking into account environmental, economic, socio-cultural and political factors that may influence the attitudes of residents and the potential involveme…
Percepción social del cambio climático en un valle interandino en la sierra del Ecuador
El cambio climático, como un fenómeno global, genera dinámicas socioambientales a nivel local que afectan a distintos grupos y en particular en zonas rurales, a pequeños agricultores. La finalidad del presente artículo es determinar el nivel de percepción sobre cambio climático y cómo este influye en la capacidad de respuesta de los agricultores en un valle interandino de la sierra ecuatoriana. Para ello, se elaboraron encuestas dirigidas a agric…
