VARGAS-LOSADA, Heriberto Fernando; LOPEZ DE PARRA, Lillyam e BALANTA-MARTINEZ, Victor Julio. Socio-cultural and environmental components affecting community-based ecotourism. Entramado [online]. 2022, vol.18, n.1, e204. Epub 13-Jun-2022. ISSN 1900-3803. https://doi.org/10.18041/1900-3803/entramado.17501.
Ecotourism is growing steadily around the world for its economic benefits, conservation, and environmental protection. The article aims to analyze the socio-cultural and environmental components that have an impact on community-based ecotourism. A documentary exploration was carried out using articles, books, and book chapters from the Scopus database of citations and abstracts, by searching for categories: ecotourism, relationships, and elements of ecotourism. The consultation period was from 20I5 to 202I. Only papers published in English, Spanish and Portuguese were considered, the final sample was 98 papers. The results expose current trends in community-based ecotourism research: their positive and negative impacts, socio-cultural elements in cultural capital and living conditions and lifestyles; environmental elements such as carrying capacity and environmental education; relationships with policies, trends in production sites such as China and Malaysia, and technology implemented in services and products. In conclusion, ecotourism is heterogeneous, seeking a balance between economic, environmental, and cultural aspects. Community participation, management and planning, environmental education, policy support, and ICT are essential.
