Incidencia de la actividad turística en la provincia de El Oro como motor de desarrollo local en los últimos años.

Abstract

This research work aims to analyze the importance of tourism to local development, since one of the main drawbacks in the province of El Oro with respect to tourism, refers to the fact that the incipient public and private investment has not generated highly competitive standards in terms of tourism activity. For this, various methodological instruments have been incorporated, such as the application of surveys and interviews with businessmen engaged in tourism, through a descriptive methodology, since tourism is currently one of the fastest growing industries in recent years, due to that it involves diverse activities that allow to obtain greater income through the generation of sources of employment. The results obtained result in an analysis of the applied techniques, based on theoretical reference support. And they allow to define the appropriate alternatives to improve the situation regarding the tourism industry.
