Abstract

The topic to be discussed in this talk is related to the valuation of natural resources with a tourist propensity. I believe that we must begin to view tourism as an activity capable of generating productive chains in a territory. So the issue is to understand how, from natural resources and the tourism industry, opportunities can be visualized so that a region can use them in its economic and social development. Natural resources are currently considered as capital, not only as natural resources from the biological or ecological point of view but as capital from the social and productive point of view.
