La Turistización del Municipio de Puerto Triunfo como determinante para la planificación territorial. Análisis de las últimas dos décadas

Abstract

Touristization is a phenomenon barely studied a decade ago, the tourist practice and its different modalities have caused social, cultural, economic and environmental impacts in the territory. The municipality of Puerto Triunfo has not been immune to these impacts since it was considered by the nation as a national tourist reserve in 1983, in addition to the opening of the Hacienda Napoles theme park in 2007. Recognition as a tourist nature reserve with the presence of important Natural scenarios in the territory, recognized by locals and visitors, have been the biggest triggers of tourism practice over time, without this having had a specific regulation in terms of local policies or regulations. Characterize the Natural Scenarios of ENAE Ecotourism Activity through information on variables collected in the field, their qualification and interpolation by means of GIS tools and supported by methodologies such as that of Bertoni (2005) for the design of field work sheets and categorization of protected areas of the International Union for the Conservation of Natural Areas IUCN (Nigel, 2008) , has been a very important exercise to understand the territorial dynamics that emerge from these, as well as being a fundamental input for proposing strategic guidelines that aim coherently to national and departmental policies. The present study allows us to provide a diagnostic mechanism and formulation of instruments for territorial planning in tourism, in addition to allowing the creation of guidelines derived from a case study in a specific territory, moving away from the normative structures that generalize the regulations on the territory. without understanding its particularities in the different dimensions of development. The contribution of this research work will serve as an input for the design of a municipal and supra-municipal public policy that contributes to the planning of the territory in tourism matters through the formulation of strategic guidelines that tend to minimize the impacts of said activity, in addition, it will serve as a model for the characterization and evaluation of ENAEs in other territories where the phenomenon of touristization occurs.
