    Estudio de prefactibilidad para la ampliación de servicios ecoturísticos en el parque Old Point, San Andrés (Colombia)
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Tamayo, Lina María; Agudelo Landinez, Hebert Alexander; Henao Arango, María Cecilia
    Colombia is characterized by occupying the first places in biodiversity worldwide, thanks to its natural wealth. The island of San Andres is an example of this richness; however, it faces challenges in social and economic development; this situation, added to the concern for protecting the environment, leads to the establishment of strategies that meet the needs of the population, taking into consideration the concept of sustainable development. To this end, and as will be seen in the document, a different alternative to sun and beach tourism on the island of San Andres is proposed, which contributes to the conservation and sustainable use of the strategic mangrove ecosystem and expands the supply of nature tourism services, through community strengthening and articulation with other business initiatives with a sustainable approach proposed by the community, which can be translated into a mechanism for economic development.

    Incidencia de la financiación en operadores de turismo de naturaleza y su influencia en la calidad de vida de las comunidades indígenas del departamento del Vaupés
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Ramírez Montoya, Tatiana; Ruiz Hernández, Johanna Alexandra; Zapata Giraldo, Valeria
    In the department of Vaupés, particularly in Mitú, nature-based tourism presents a strategic opportunity to drive local economic development. This research examines the impact of financing on the quality of life of indigenous communities, while simultaneously identifying the challenges involved in consolidating tourism activities, reducing territorial disparities, and strengthening financial education. The study was conducted using a qualitative approach, aimed at the discovery, construction, and interpretation of facts, without the intention of generalizing the results. The analysis was structured around five interrelated categories: nature-based tourism, quality of life, financing, indigenous culture, and social equity. Semi-structured interviews and group sessions were carried out with sector stakeholders, complemented by secondary data from the literature. Data collection included open-ended responses, participant observations, and field notes, allowing access to hidden dimensions of the socioeconomic dynamics within indigenous territories. The findings reveal that financing has a positive impact on the quality of life of indigenous communities, particularly when they are organized and guided by clear collective objectives. However, for nature-based tourism to become a driver of comprehensive development, it is essential to recognize and strengthen the leading role of these communities, incorporate their ancestral knowledge, and address challenges such as informal tourism practices, limited financial education, and geographic barriers that hinder equitable access to the benefits of sustainable tourism. Based on these findings, the study proposes recommendations aimed at promoting nature-based tourism while respecting local values and needs. It suggests encouraging the use of diverse sources of financing, designing financial education programs with a differential approach to enhance the capacities of tourism stakeholders, developing awareness tools for visitors about indigenous culture and the Amazon biome, and strengthening community processes alongside integrated conservation efforts in the territory.
