Abstract

The study aims to analyze the territorial order from the focus of the tourist space; Although it is true, in recent years Ecuador has been promoting an articulated planning of development and territorial ordering in which physical, socio-cultural, economic, human settlements, mobility, energy, connectivity, institutional political system and citizen participation; However it has not been possible to look at the tourist potential of the territories, nor is it considered a planning of tourist activities framed in the levels of use given to the land. Two specific objectives have been set out to achieve the projected and three chapters have been structured; In the first one, the theoretical framework is approached as much of the territorial organization, as of the tourist space and its articulation. It gives a look at the historical reference of planning in Ecuador and analyzes the legal regulations concerning the two major components of this study. Subsequently, a general characterization of the study area is carried out, the inventory of tourist attractions is analyzed, the presence of equipment, infrastructure and tourist facilities around the attractions. An analysis of the elements of the tourist space, of the categories of management is executed and is considered experiences of planning of the tourist space in other territories. Finally, we propose the determination of the territorial order with a focus on the design of the tourist space, drawing the desired in maps that allow a better understanding of the result obtained after all the previous technical analysis
