Resumen
En la última década en la República del Ecuador se fortaleció notablemente el turismo y uno de los beneficiados fueron las comunidades indígenas y rurales mediante el turismo comunitario. Este tipo de turismo no ha logrado alcanzar las metas por las que se concibió. El presente estudio pretende demostrar la problemática del turismo comunitario en una comunidad en el Parque Nacional Yasuni enfocándose en aspectos legales y económicos y la implementación de una solución mediante una propuesta de un proyecto de vinculación entre la academia, instituciones gubernamentales y comunidades, centrándose en el uso de una especie amenazada y aprovechar su programa de conservación mediante un uso turístico. La metodología se basa en una recopilación bibliográfica y la aplicación de experiencias profesionales y trabajo de campo con el uso de entrevistas y observación. Los principales resultados indican que existen graves problemas en aspectos legales y el manejo económico; y, que la mejor opción para implementar un programa de conservación es la especie Charapa (Podocnemis unifilis y Podocnemis expansa). Se motiva a los gestores realizar programas de capacitación y fortalecimiento enfocándose realmente en las debilidades de las comunidades que realizan este tipo de turismo.
