Evaluación de la gestión del turismo sustentable en la reserva forestal protectora Cerro Quininí en Tibacuy, Cundinamarca

Abstract

This research evaluated the management of sustainable tourism in a context of nature protection as is the case of the Cerro Quininí Protected Forest Reserve (RFPCQ) in the department of Cundinamarca, Colombia. To achieve this, indicators and variables were defined through a bibliographic review of the last decade. Subsequently, the tourism management system was described based on the relationship between 5 management categories and 7 variables were established as appropriate to evaluate the administrative performance of tourism in this context. Finally, a forum of experts was convened to qualify these variables, and the results were compiled for analysis, identifying that at present the tourism performance of the RFPCQ tends towards sustainability, but does not achieve an effective coordination between public institutions and resident communities, being this an area of improvement necessary to achieve an effective sustainable development in the territory.
