“…Wang et al ( 2021 ) considered the SLA to reveal the impact of livelihood capital endowment (LCE) on households’ income growth and poverty alleviation under different rural land consolidation (RLC) situations. SLA is also helpful in analyzing the influential parameters behind the diversified livelihood choices of rural households (Huang et al 2021 ).…”

The present study attempted to understand the dimensions of changing agrarian livelihoods because of haphazard adaptation of capitalistic shrimp aquaculture. Specifically, using multi-temporal Google-based geodatabase, we quantified the artificial conversion of agrarian landscape in an inland freshwater region of coastal Bengal. Further, we examined the long-term viability of transformed livelihoods by adopting a modified version of the Sustainable Livelihood Approach (SLA). The assessment of changing livelihoods was based on empirical information acquired through field surveys, focus group discussion (FGD) and key informant interviews (KII). Results from the geostatistical analysis depicted that the shrimp culture in the research area was very recent. In 2010, only 0.03 percent of the total area was occupied by shrimp ponds. However, within a decade and an expansion rate of 18 percent/annum, the conversion spread to 1/3 of the total study area. The findings also clarified that the adaptation of shrimp cultivation increased the overall profit by 6400 USD/ha/year over agricultural output, and resulted in a quick rise in the standard of living for the shrimp farmers. However, in the long run, due to decreasing productivity and salinization of the surrounding land, the conversion resulted in massive depeasantization, augmentation of wasteland, and biased wealth accumulation led to a wide rich-poor gap. Therefore, the entire ecosystem will suffer in the near future, if the local government does not strictly impose Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

“…El turismo alternativo ayuda al posicionamiento y valorización de las regiones y sus sistemas de agroindustria localizados (Paz et al, 2020), convirtiéndose en una opción viable para generar progreso económico, cultural y bienestar social en las regiones donde se establece (González, 2011). Sin embargo la adecuada planificación de estrategias regionales de turismo rural deben considerar los principios de sustentabilidad para mejorar los medios de vida sostenibles de los hogares rurales (Li et al, 2021), la coordinación y participación de grupos de interés (stakeholders) (Sánchez-Oro et al, 2021), el impacto en el medio ambiente a largo plazo de la industria en un lugar determinado (Dvarskas,2017), trabajar en la creación y consolidación de lazos de confianza y de pertenencia que permitan la adecuada vinculación con los mercados e incluso, gestionar la integración del turismo sostenible en las políticas públicas de incidencia local (Brendehaug, Aall y Dodds, 2017).…”

“…Por lo anterior, es importante que la planificación de emprendimientos turísticos agroalimentarios consideren los principios de sustentabilidad (Li et al, 2021), la educación ambiental (Arroyave-Puerta & Marulanda-Valencia, 2019), la coordinación y participación de grupos de interés (stakeholders) (Sánchez-Oro et al, 2021), estudios de capacidad de carga (Dvarskas,2017), cohesión social, redes de proximidad e incluso, gestionar la integración del turismo sostenible en las políticas públicas (Brendehaug, Aall y Dodds, 2017), para dar respuesta a las problemáticas de desigualdades económicas, sociales y ambientales que el desarrollo del turismo representa para los entornos rurales.…”

Se aborda el desarrollo sostenible a partir de las actividades agroturísticas para el aprovechamiento de maguey pulquero en Jiquipilco, México. El objetivo del estudio fue generar una propuesta de turismo alternativo basada en los recursos locales con identidad territorial asociados al sistema agroalimentario del agave pulquero en Jiquipilco. Se utilizó un diseño no experimental y transversal, con un enfoque cualitativo de tipo exploratorio y descriptivo, bajo una metodología de corte participativo. Se obtuvo la contextualización del caso de estudio a partir de fuentes primarias y secundarias; la identificación y priorización de productos y atractivos con potencial turístico; y el diseño de propuesta integral de agroturismo, de acuerdo a la vocación socio productiva del territorio. Los resultados indican que existe una amplia diversidad de recursos naturales tangibles e intangibles de importancia cultural, ambiental y alimentaria que pueden ser utilizados en emprendimientos turísticos alternativos. El uso de geotecnologías para realizar el inventario de recursos turísticos ayudó a tener una proyección preliminar de atractivos con identidad territorial, proporcionando una base de datos útil para la planificación turística, que contribuyan al manejo de los recursos naturales y la formulación de emprendimientos turísticos encaminados en el desarrollo social y a la sostenibilidad ambiental.

“…Sustainable livelihoods in rural tourism destinations is the current focus of the field of sustainable livelihoods research. Scholars have conducted numerous studies on the linkages among livelihood capital, livelihood strategies, and the livelihood outcomes of rural households in rural tourism destinations [1][2][3]. The development of rural tourism has changed the livelihood capital and original livelihood strategy combinations of local rural households [4].…”

Even though seasonality is an important concern in tourism research, only a few scholars have focused on the seasonality of rural tourism. Therefore, this study examines seasonality in rural tourism destinations. We adopt a mixed research approach to explore the sustainable livelihoods of households in rural tourism destinations from a seasonality perspective, using the case of rural tourism destinations in Yulong River basin, Guangxi, China. First, in-depth interviews and grounded theory are used to construct a sustainable livelihood model for households in rural tourism destinations under the influence of seasonality. Second, the model is tested using the data envelopment analysis model and statistical analysis. We find that (1) psychological capital, a previously neglected livelihood capital, is an important component of rural households’ livelihood capital in rural tourism destinations under the influence of seasonality; (2) rural tourism does not significantly improve rural livelihoods due to seasonal influences; and (3) participating in tourism work in the off-season and combining it with other work practices are the main livelihood strategies of rural households to cope with seasonality; however, over-dispersing resources reduces the livelihood efficiency. This study’s findings will prove useful for policy formation by governments to deal with seasonality in rural tourism.
