Creación de una ruta turística educativa para niños de 8 a 10 años en los buses panorámicos de la ciudad de Cuenca

Abstract

This research project intends to link tourism, culture and education. By using double-decker buses in Cuenca city, it has envisioned the development of a touristic educational city tour around the historical downtown part of Cuenca, which could turn out to be an important learning tool for primary schools. First, a preliminary analysis of the double-decker buses’ routes will be carried out to clearly determine the main cultural touristic spots that could serve education. Currently, there are not educational tours which can help primary schools promote our culture; as a result, most children lack knowledge on what the most important cultural sites are such as museums, churches, galleries among others. Therefore, the main goal is to develop a touristic educational tour, which will function as a supporting tool for primary schools to help children enjoy and learn at the same time.
