“…For this reason, through this study, we try to show a series of effective implications for sustainability through adventure tourism according to the data found, to the our best of our knowledge, to date. A considerable increase has been observed in the degradation of natural resources and the most popular tourist destinations, all as a result of the uncontrolled actions of tourists [54]. As tourism is a sector strongly influenced by the permanent changes that take place in the activity and the surrounding environment [55], with our study, we try to achieve adequate and strategic planning to improve the quality of the activities offered.…”

“…To continue with this correct development, the determination of tourism-carrying capacity is also presented as an effective instrument for the mitigation of environmental problems, the conservation of the natural and cultural heritage, and the development of tourism in a territory. Likewise, it is considered necessary to promote the inclusion of activities that are congruent with the environment, participatory and, especially responsible, sufficiently malleable and that can be replicated in different territories [54]. In this way, some studies, such as Mateos et al [56], indicate that it would be advisable for all-natural protected areas to have a management and participation body responsible for organizing and evaluating the degree of tourism sustainability in the protected area.…”

In recent decades, tourism is an activity in continuous growth and generates a significant impact in the social, economic, and environmental fields. Adventure tourism mainly takes place in natural settings, where tourist immersion will generate, in addition to profits, an impact on nature and the conservation of natural areas. The purpose of this work is to analyze the sociodemographic characteristics of tourists who choose to carry out adventure activities, as well as the means of transport used. For this, we have carried out this study through analysis of the 2019 data file of tourists from the National Statistics Institute with a sample of adventure tourists of 380 people. The results of the analysis show that the type of tourist who does adventure sports is single people with a higher educational level and a stable professional situation. The most frequently used means of transport to a destination is private transport, and lodging accounts for the majority of accommodation. It should be noted that significant gender differences were found in the level of studies, professional status in the job performed, and type of accommodation. Finally, the profile of the adventure tourist will be very useful for planning sustainable tourism.

“…Its premise is causality, presenting the relationship between the pressure exerted by human beings on the social, economic, and environmental factors of any region. Simultaneously, it allows us to rationalize the abuse and deterioration of livelihoods that affect tourism activity [27]. This model establishes six dimensions that must be analyzed to measure the limit of the tourist carrying capacity: the ecological, urban planning, cultural, economic, institutional, and psychological dimensions.…”

The purpose of this work is to conduct a comparative study of variations in the indicators of the tourism carrying capacity in the state of Baja California. It is crucial to consider that the state had to confront the COVID-19 pandemic, during which tourism was not deemed an essential activity. This circumstance generated numerous social, psychological, and economic effects, primarily. In this regard, the aim is to identify the consequences of organizing events that promote tourism, particularly concerning the opinions of business professionals in the region. This is a qualitative and longitudinal study; the initial phase took place in May 2019, while the second survey occurred in the summer of 2022. The statistical sample is non-probabilistic and based on convenience, comprising 320 tourism businesses. The findings indicate that the tourist destinations remained appealing, experiencing inflows just above the average and approaching their capacity limits. Significantly, there are areas for improvement in terms of their tourist load capacities across each of the dimensions studied, despite the global health crisis.

“…However, cultural tourism has proven to be an appealing industry with its amazing rise due to the world's immense cultural diversity (Cardoso, Fanas, & De Araújo, 2021) and community involvement has proven to be instrumental in transferring local knowledge to visitors (Gastélum, May, Hernández, Canul, & Durán, 2020). Emerging destinations address environmental constraints and delicate ecosystems that may be more damaged by tourism activity than traditional tourism areas in order to meet the expectations of travellers who want to engage in cultural exchange activities and touch with nature outside of cities (Matos-Márquez & Pérez-Colmenares, 2019). The World Tourism Organisation (WTO) states that "'indigenous peoples' distinctive culture and expertise may deliver creative experiences and new commercial prospects for tourism destinations and local communities" (UNWTO, 2021).…”

Purpose: This study aims to provide valuable insights for stakeholders in Puerto Nariño, Amazonas enabling them to develop strategies tailored to their needs. Particularly, it assessed the sustainability of indigenous tourism initiatives in the municipality of Puerto Nariño, Amazonas. Design/Methodology/Approach: This qualitative study involved pioneering indigenous family tourism initiatives and a sustainability framework with a set of 12 sustainability indicators to explore the perceptions of tourism service providers. Convenience sampling was used to collect data through questionnaires. Findings: According to the findings, families are aware of the advantages of tourist activities with the culture-society component having the highest average score (3.13/5.00). However, it can be inferred that factors encompassing economic, governance and environmental dimensions such as employment and income generation (average 2.00/5.00), encouragement and convening spaces to promote participatory community decision-making mechanisms (average 1.75/5.00), reliable energy supply and enhancing knowledge of local wildlife, vegetation and sporting activities (average 1.70/5.00) remain critical in this indigenous context. Additionally, the initiative's governance component has been evaluated as having the lowest average (2.19/5.00). Practical Implications: These findings contribute to the existing body of knowledge on ecotourism practices in indigenous settings particularly in South American ethnic communities. Contribution to the Literature: These findings offer valuable insights for institutions seeking a deeper understanding of tourism practices within protected areas.
