Resumen
Quevedo is located in Los Rios Province, with a population of approximately 230,000 inhabitants. It has eight rural
and two urban parishes. The great feature of this city is its high dynamics of trade, its outstanding agricultural
development and the large number of Chinese settlers; the last statement gave a boost to the economy, food and
agriculture. In the city have been given more than an ethnic melting for 100 years resulting from a well-accepted by
the locals and harmony between them, are at present nearly half of china Quevedeños with blood.
Walking along Quevedo’s streets is to taste a daily strong bond trading and cultural develops, but maybe that was
not represented by an icon that marks the physical mixing that has been a rising through the years. Thus was born
the proposal for this planning, contributing in order to increase the tourism that is scarce in Quevedo.
