Purpose: this article presents a conceptual framework for examining community tourism as a sustainable livelihood through food tourism, considering the significant increase in community-based tourism in Mexico and the impact this activity has on rural and vulnerable destinations. The main aim of this research is to generate a proposal for a set of sustainable tourism indicators for rural and isolated communities through food strategies geared towards tourism development. Methodology: this information can then be used to generate a first list of indicators for creating and evaluating community tourism proposals in a region. Said theoretical list includes four dimensions (socio-cultural, environmental, tourist, and economic), which comprise 27 indicators in total. Findings: the results, validated by different participants related to the tourism sector, show that a lack of information for quantifying indicators is one of the main limitations when evaluating a vulnerable destination and that participation by the private sector and public administrations will be essential in generating these data. Approach: this research will therefore contribute to the development of new action strategies that allow not only the strengthening of the current localized agri-food systems, but also the revaluation of forgotten food systems.
El proyecto Mutantur es una experiencia que parte de comprender al turismo como una actividad so-cio-cultural que puede oficiar de vehículo para recu-perar el acceso a la ciudad de-por-para personas en situación de calle, garantizando el derecho constitu-cional del disfrute del patrimonio y el conocimien-to de la historia para re-significarla en el presente. Surgido en la Asamblea Popular Plaza Dorrego-San Telmo, se ha convertido en un dispositivo que cola-bora en la reducción del daño de una población alta-mente vulnerabilizada y estigmatizada. Las carreras de Turismo de UNDAV se suman en 2018 con el pro-pósito de fortalecer el vínculo universidad y territo-rio, promoviendo la construcción de conocimiento desde una perspectiva dialógica horizontal con los actores sociales y las demandas de la realidad. El proyecto asume y reconoce la misión social de la uni-versidad pública, el lugar central del aprendizaje crí-tico y la práctica social necesaria para transformar la realidad.
