Abstract

ZARAZUA, José-Alberto; MAZABEL, Davison; MONCAYO-ESTRADA, Rodrigo  and  RENDON-MEDEL, Roberto. ASSESSMENT OF THE SUSTAINABILITY IN RURAL SPACES RELATED TO ECOTOURISM. CASE STUDY IN LACANDON JUNGLE, CHIAPAS, MEXICO. Luna Azul [online]. 2015, n.40, pp.47-68. ISSN 1909-2474.  https://doi.org/10.17151/luaz.2015.40.5.

This research performs an ex-post evaluation of the sustainability in rural spaces related to ecotourism, focused on a comparative study of three companies located in the Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve (MABR) and another company located outside, all of them in the town of Ocosingo, Chiapas, México. 75% of respondents are male with an average age of 36 years, seven years of schooling and 1,9 hectares. The main source of income is ecotourism, which presents a cost-benefit relationship that has ran down from 2,7 to 1,7 between 2007 and 2011, respectively. The evidence indicates an imbalance in the access to subsidies, where the ethnical ownership plays a transcendental role.
