Based on qualitative interviews and observations, this paper looks at the socioeconomic benefits of ecotourism in a local community in the Monarch Butterfly Reserve in Mexico.

Sin embargo, el impacto socioeconómico del ecoturismo ha recibido una atención erudita limitada en el contexto de países en desarrollo. Basado en entrevistas cualitativas y observaciones, este documento mira a los beneficios socioeconómicos del ecoturismo en una comunidad local en la Reserva de la Mariposa Monarca en México. Sen encontró que el ecoturismo reemplazó a la mayoría de las actividades económicas en la localidad; el uso de los recursos del bosque para el consumo individual y el mercado local fue mayormente reemplazado por actividades relacionadas al ecoturismo. Los beneficios incluyen la concienciación local de los recursos naturales y una mayor organización sistemática de las actividades económicas. Reconociendo los métodos cualitativos que de alguna manera limitan la generalización de estos hallazgos, implicaciones prácticas para los destinos son sugeridas.Universidad de Huelva20132013-01-0120132013-01-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10272/7551reponame:Arias Montano.
