Resumen
This work arises from the need to know: how do Argentinean backpackers visiting
the canton Cuenca 2019 -2020 develop their trips? Studies show that this segment
of travelers is among the groups with the largest presence in the city. Despite that,
information about backpackers and the development of their travels is almost null.
Therefore, the main objective of this work is to know the dynamics and practices
of travelers from Argentina who visit the canton Cuenca 2019-2020. In the first
instance, the theoretical and statistical review was carried out on backpackers by
identifying their main characteristics, then saw backpackers of Argentine
nationality and the information collected was subjected to a hermeneutic analysis
using ATLAS. Ti software version 7. In addition, two travel logs were generated,
then qualitative analysis was carried out to determine the characteristics, travel
practices and income of these travelers along their routes. Finally, an analysis of
local policies was carried out in relation to this type of travelers. It can be concluded
that backpackers have a totally different view about traveling than traditional
tourists, moving through uncrowded places, supporting themselves with work while
they travel and spending as little as possible. Therefore, backpackers, being a
different and more frequent segment should be considered within the tourist
planning of the city.
