Recopilación y trascendencia de los envueltos más representativos de la Sierra ecuatoriana como aporte para la promoción del turismo cultural gastronómico

Abstract

The purpose of this research work was to generate information about the most representative wraps of the Ecuadorian highlands, since it has been determined that some traditional recipes are being lost, and others do not have a regulated record of production processes. The research was documentary and experimental, based initially on information obtained from a bibliographic analysis and later validated throughout interviews with experts, which lead to the development of six previously selected wrap recipes. These recipes start by knowing the historical context of each wrapper, followed by technical evaluations to record the processes; information that has been collected in a technical file. As part of the validation, an experimental application of three of these wraps was carried out, in addition to spread this information through publications in the official pages of the Ministry of Tourism Zone 6. The results show the importance of the promotion of contents to promote cultural and gastronomic tourism, contributing to the tourism and educational sector, as well as to small enterprises. In this way, through the social network Twitter of the Ministry of Tourism Zone 6, all the recipes were disseminated; likewise, a private enterprise tested three of the six recipes for wraps, whose results demonstrated on the one hand the validity of the recipe data sheet and on the other hand, the need for more support for the rescue of intangible heritage aspects.
