Turismo inclusivo en playa Santa Marianita del cantón Manta caso de personas con discapacidad visual.

Abstract

Many people are excluded from development progress to the world either because of their gender, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, disability or because they live in poverty. If tourism continues to grow at the rate it is doing so, it must favor minorities, include them in the sector and generate local development, local consumption, generating job opportunities and reducing poverty rates. This research project is carried out with the intention of analyzing the problems of the physical spaces that exist on Santa Marianita beach, the reason why this destination was chosen as the object of study is because there is a lack of accessible areas for people with different types of disabilities, which is worrying since this tourist point is highly visited by national and international tourists. The tools that will help data collection will be interviews and surveys, since they are sources of direct and necessary information to determine accessibility problems within the restoration area and will allow the objective of the research to be clearly met. Obtaining an egalitarian tourism that is for everyone and for everyone should be the vision of any tourist destination, beyond achieving an inclusion in this parish, it seeks to raise awareness among the people who provide services since it is not only about growing economically but also about share meaningful experiences for life. It is hoped that with the information that will be reflected in this study project, the importance of this small population in their tourist development will be visualized, and above all, that they obtain equal tourism that is for everyone.
