Abstract
El ecoturismo comunitario es un concepto que involucra la activa participación de la comunidad por medio de un servicio ecoturístico, encierra diversas características de corresponsabilidad y actualmente es explorado en América Latina, pero es impulsado principalmente por países europeos. Este servicio consta de un viaje a áreas con características especiales o zonas frágiles, por lo general son áreas protegidos; por ello se propone como objetivo orientar y educar al viajante, suministrar apoyo para la conservación del medio ambiente; beneficiando así el desarrollo económico nacional y a las comunidades locales presentes en el proyecto mediante la implementación de un sistema turístico sostenible.
Para garantizar la sostenibilidad ambiental de la actividad ecoturística comunitaria en la zona en donde se ofrezca este servicio, se establecerán requerimientos de operación para las partes involucradas en la ejecución de este servicio. Las partes más sobresalientes son el ordenamiento, planificación y evaluación de las actividades ecoturísticas que generen el menor grado de impacto hacia los ecosistemas naturales presentes, la implementación de buenas prácticas para la conservación y preservación del entorno, el fortalecimiento de la organización comunitaria para la prestación de los servicios y actividades ecoturísticas, el desarrollo de programas de capacitación ambiental, el reconocimiento de los valores socioculturales para el fortalecimiento de la organización comunitaria, y el fortalecimiento de las actividades de sensibilización y educación a los visitantes. En este proceso se busca generar una participación activa entre las comunidades locales y visitantes para incentivar al cuidado y preservación de los destinos que se desean visitar, para que de esta forma se promueva la conservación y se conlleve a un desarrollo local mediante la generación de empleo para la comunidad partiendo de un modelo ecoturístico comunitario sostenible.
Las tendencias del turismo en los últimos tiempos se han orientado hacia modelos que logren el equilibrio de esta actividad como generadora de empleo y que al mismo tiempo sea sostenible, de tal forma que no se vea afectado a futuro los recursos de los cuales se hacen uso. De esta forma surge el ecoturismo comunitario como una modalidad turística que promueve el conocimiento de la diversidad biológica, cultural, social y propiciar su conservación; logrando minimizar una serie de impactos sociales y ambientales.
