ROMERO-INFANTE, Jaime Alberto  and  DIEZ-SILVA, H. Mauricio. The ecotourism project management market, oriented to the international market, which impacts regional development through the application of PMBOK standards. Rev. esc.adm.neg [online]. 2013, n.75, pp.152-175. ISSN 0120-8160.

This article describes the application of project management practices in the ecotourism sector of Colombia, which is oriented to the international market and which impacts considerably regional development. Different processes of the Project Management Institute International Standards (PMI) have been applied during this project which aims at identifying and validating sustainable methods of ecotourism trading services in protected areas of high ecological and cultural value. An exploration methodology was used, based on the review and interpretation of literature about the best international practices of project management. From the above, we have developed a structural frame that could be applied to different projects involving the Colombian ecotourism sector, aiming at improving the management of such interventions.
