| dc.description.abstract | Since the beginning of the 21st century, according to the United Nations (2015) in
its Millennium Development Goals, it considers Community Based Tourism (CBT)
as a means of sustainable development whose purpose is to eliminate poverty
based on its fundamental pillars: environmental, economic, social and institutional.
Although tourism is considered a means of development, it has been shown that
not all communities are ready to implement tourist activities when there is no
cohesion between the pillars of sustainable development.
Therefore, this research seeks to describe the sustainable development of tourism
in the Shuar Tsuer Entsa community and how its deterritorialization process and
cultural identity influence territorial dynamics. In this way, the present study seeks
to understand the reason why the Shuar Tsuer Entsa community, which, in its 20
years of tourism history does not have a sustainable development in the tourism
field, and how deterritorialization and cultural identity are related to it, where
behaviors such as: paternalism, conformism, alcoholism, little associativity, among
others, prevent a proper sustainable tourism development of the community are
presented. For it, a methodology with a qualitative approach, exploratory scope
and ethnographic design will be used.
