RODRIGUEZ BASSO, Silfredo; RAMIREZ PEREZ, Jorge Freddy and PEREZ HERNANDEZ, Iverilys. Tourism from culture. Contribution to local development. Coodes [online]. 2021, vol.9, n.3, pp. 747-763. Epub Dec 30, 2021. ISSN 2310-340X.
Cultural tourism has not been free of contradictions in its evolution as a scientific discipline. The aim of this article is to provide a cultural basis for the contributions of tourism to local development on the basis of several initiatives related to the nature modality. The historical-logical, inductive-deductive and synthesis analysis methods were used to study the evolution of the concept of cultural tourism. The empirical methods used consisted of the collection and analysis of primary sources, the unstructured interview and the anthropological genealogy. As a result, the main contributions of tourism from culture through the pilot experiences of the Local Tourist Centers are presented. By way of conclusion, the value of culture as a resource for the implementation of strategic proposals for local development at the municipal level, in terms of tourism, is confirmed.
