Economic dimension of accessible tourism: Lectures for Ecuador
Main Article Content
Abstract
The economic dimension of accessible tourism constitutes a factor of particular importance for the development of social inclusion as a basis for sustainable human development. However, a phenomenon has been insufficiently studied in the literature and appears more as a statement than as an aspect of social relevance. The purpose of this article is to offer an analysis of the economic dimension of accessible tourism, deriving lessons for a country like Ecuador. For the analysis, the tools of qualitative research are used, based on observation and documentary analysis, which allows us to reveal, as a central idea, the importance of rethinking the practice of accessible tourism in the various regions of Ecuador as a factor of economic growth and social development, linked to the sectors of the national economy.
