Colombian rural development, one sight through the community based tourism

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to conceive a conceptual definition of community tourism and the relationship it has had in rural development of the country. The inhabitants of these communities have an active participation in tourism services, making use of environmental and cultural resources in a sustainable manner. Tourism in rural territories is proposed as an appropriate strategy to stimulate development processes. In addition, community tourism allows articulating this activity with others of equal or greater economic relevance in the territories. The investigative approach is mixed, however, its characteristics are mainly qualitative. A study was carried out in an Agroparque where different economic activities are carried out. There you can see the different activities that take place in the rural area. The inhabitants of rural communities find in the tourism an economic activity, to alternate the traditional activities of the field. There are many opportunities to implement community tourism actions in a post-conflict process, responding to the guidelines. communities find in the tourism an economic activity, to alternate the activities of the field.
