    The management of tourism products located in border areas with territorial problems are topics little considered by researchers, since the vast majority focus on the analysis of tourist destinations outside this territorial location. This graduation work aims to determine the influence of border conflicts on the management of tourism as a means of sustainable development between the border enclave Azuay and Guayas (Luz y Guía-Zhagal and Camacho sectors), through a qualitative and cross-sectional study. To achieve the main objective, the factors involved in the tourist activity of the surrounding communities were identified through a bibliographic contrast of public documents, agreements, laws and academic articles related to the territory. A non-probabilistic sample was established at convenience for the application of qualitative research tools such as semi-structured interviews. Subsequently, the sociocultural problems of the area were described and the perceptions of the stakeholders regarding the application of a joint and associative work for the benefit of tourism were analyzed, through a hermeneutic study of semantic networks elaborated in the Software Atlas.ti 8.4.24. It is concluded that provincial and cantonal border conflicts accentuate problems of associativity, regionalism, resources possession and community rivalry. Such conflicts, coupled with little government intervention and superficial tourism planning, prevent the territories involved from developing in social, environmental, tourism and economical aspects. Therefore, it is essential that there is a closer link between stakeholders and with the territory, in order to improve the tourism offer. Finally, it is imperative that a territorial agreement be drawn up that integrates the perspectives and opinions of the different communities immersed in the border dispute.
