Dialogue of Knowledge for the Consolidation of Territories Through Cultural Tourism

Abstract

The dialogue of knowledge through cultural tourism in search of the consolidation of territories can help in the identification of the sociocultural diversity of local communities. The research focuses on identifying and interpreting the social, cultural, and tourist practices present in the territories in a way that facilitates the understanding of the individual and collective dynamics for the creation of strategies that establish guidelines of belonging in the different institutional interventions and provide spaces for the dialogue through strategies of social appropriation of knowledge. The content analysis reveals that there are some aspects of the initiatives studied that may be successful, but without the full participation of all the actors involved, discrepancies may occur in the results obtained, because they tend from assumptions of homogeneity of the populations, even overlooking the differences that the context provides in terms of the development of economic, social, and tourist activities.
