Responsible destinations as a sustainable approach to tourism development in Panama
Authors
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to show the point of view about tourism development through sustainable tourism strategies, which the tourism authority of Panama trains the inhabitants of the communities, based on the culture, traditions, customs, and natural wealth of the communities. The objective is based on proposing the basis for responsible destinations as a sustainable approach to tourism development in Panama. The research used a quantitative approach with a field design where two provinces and one region were studied, which were Costa abajo de Colón, Coclé and the San Blas region. As for the population studied, we worked with 40 people selected from the three destinations where the research was carried out: Coclé, Colón and Kuna Yala. As a conclusion, the research showed that, although there are sustainable initiatives in certain regions, the approach towards responsible destinations in Panama still needs to be strengthened, therefore, some bases can be proposed as recommendations for a responsible destination that helps the development of the studied localities and that when integrated in a coherent and strategic way, could transform Panama into a model destination for sustainable tourism, promoting economic development.
