Description
Summary:Ecotourism is a productive strategy that consists of visiting natural destinations responsibly, aims to improve the well-being of local communities and preserve the environment. Ecotourism is being developed in coastal wetlands, however, there is a lack of understanding of the methodological and practical context in which this activity is carried out. This study aims to review the state of ecotourism as a productive alternative in coastal wetlands. For this: a) coastal wetland types were identified, b) local actors were characterizedand c) the strategies most used in the development of ecotourism in coastal wetlands were described. This research is descriptive, based on a literature review, which developed a search in the Scopus database, using a defined search strategy. The results yielded 95 documents to which inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. Nineteen documents were obtained to construct the matrix. It can be inferred that this research is a contribution to the scientific literature, since currently there is no research that summarizes scientific information regarding the role of ecotourism in coastal wetlands. These results serve as input for better planning and implementation of ecotourism projects in coastal wetlands in Colombia. On the other hand, the information found is scattered and aspects remain to be addressed. Finally, this study contributes to sustainable development since it promotes the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources in highly vulnerable ecosystems.
