Abstract
La comunidad Fakcha Llakta es un pueblo de origen kichwa que se encuentra en la localidad de Peguche. Su principal actividad es el turismo, que permite a los turistas conocer la vida cotidiana de la comunidad a través de diferentes actividades como gastronomía y elaboración de artesanías. Este estudio propone determinar la situación actual de la actividad turística en el sector a través de la recopilación de información por parte de los pobladores del sector de Peguche, y a su vez por los representantes de la comunidad Fakcha Llakta. De esta manera se busca implementar la metodología para un modelo de gestión turística en la comunidad, que permita lograr una mejor organización turística y comunitaria. Con la finalidad de que, a futuro con la ayuda de una entidad pública se puede tomar en cuenta dicha metodología para la implementación de un plan de gestión turística. La metodología aplicada en esta investigación se alinea con los métodos de investigación descriptivo – analítico sintético y deductivo, de igual importancia se aplica tres técnicas de investigación: la encuesta, la entrevista y la observación; se trabajó con la muestra no probabilística, en la cual se aplicó a 100 personas pertenecientes al sector Peguche. En los resultados se recopiló información sobre la falta de organización comunitaria y gestión turística como lo es la falta de promoción, mejoramiento de servicios y falta de capacitación por parte de los comuneros. De este modo se concluyó que esto se debe al desconocimiento y falta de apoyo por parte de las entidades públicas, sin embargo, la comunidad con su esfuerzo y con los ingresos que reciben del cobro para ingresar al bosque han logrado continuar con esta actividad para generar más beneficios y a su vez para poder conservar y proteger el Bosque Protector Cascada de Peguche.
The Fakcha Llakta community is a village of Kichwa origin located in the town of Peguche. Its main activity is tourism, which allows tourists to learn about the daily life of the community through different activities such as gastronomy and handicrafts. This study proposes to determine the current situation of the tourist activity in the sector through the collection of information from the inhabitants of the Peguche sector, and in turn from the representatives of the Fakcha Llakta community. In this way, we seek to implement the methodology for a tourism management model in the community, which will allow for a better tourism and community organization. With the purpose that in the future, with the help of a public entity, this methodology can be taken into account for the implementation of a tourism management plan. The methodology applied in this research is aligned with the descriptive - analytical, synthetic and deductive research methods, of equal importance three research techniques are applied: the survey, the interview and the observation; we worked with a non-probabilistic sample, which was applied to 100 people belonging to the Peguche sector. The results gathered information on the lack of community organization and tourism management, such as the lack of promotion, improvement of services and lack of training on the part of the community members. It was concluded that this is due to lack of knowledge and lack of support from public entities; however, the community has managed to continue with this activity to generate more benefits and at the same time to conserve and protect the Peguche waterfall Protected Forest with their efforts and the income they receive from the entrance fee to the forest.
