Abstract

This article reviews the management of natural resources in the canton of Pasaje, Ecuador, and its influence on the progress of tourism during the period between 2019 and 2023.  The city of Pasaje is characterized by its abundant biodiversity and natural attractions, which makes it a tourist destination with significant potential. However, proper management of these resources is essential to achieve sustainable tourism development. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of the strategies implemented to boost tourism and generate complementary income for the local community. The methodology adopted is descriptive and quantitative, through the collection of bibliographic data and the conduct of a survey of 24 administrators of tourist sites in Pasaje. This study provided recommendations to strengthen sustainability strategies and improve the tourism competitiveness of the Pasaje canton in the future.
