Resumen
El turismo como actividad esencial dentro de la economía de Costa Rica desde la década de los años ochenta, ha contribuido en el desarrollo de diversas comunidades en todo el país. A pesar de la importancia de la actividad turística muchos gobiernos locales no han implementado instrumentos de planificación territorial como el plan regulador o a nivel sectorial como planes de desarrollo turístico que favorezcan el avance de la misma. Con el fin de apoyar a las comunidades locales en la implementación de actividades turísticas esta comunicación se establece como objetivo, presentar una propuesta de planificación turística para las comunidades de isla de Chira, Corral de Piedra y San Juan localizadas en el golfo y la península de Nicoya, Costa Rica. Para ello, se aplica una estrategia de planificación que permite delimitar zonas turísticas en dichas comunidades. A partir del análisis del sistema turístico, se establece la vocación de los recursos turísticos, se caracteriza la demanda y oferta turística e identifican los principales actores asociados a la actividad en la zona, para identificar los elementos homogeneizadores del espacio que permiten proponer zonas de planificación turística.
As an essential activity within the economy of Costa Rica since the 1980s, tourism has contributed to the development of diverse communities throughout the country. Despite the importance of the tourist activity, many local governments have not implemented territorial planning instruments such as the regulatory plan, or at the sectoral level, plans such as those for tourism development to promote the progress of the activity.In order to support local communities in the implementation of tourism activities, this paper sets out as an objective to present a proposal for tourism planning for the communities of Isla de Chira, Corral de Piedra, and San Juan, located in the Gulf of Nicoya and the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica. For this, a planning strategy is applied to allow delimiting tourist areas in those communities. Based on the analysis of the tourist system, the vocation of tourist resources is established, the tourist demand and offer are characterized, and the main actors associated with the activity in the area are identified to pinpoint the homogenizing elements of space that allow proposing areas for tourism planning.
