In the search for a better tourism planning that allows reducing socio-ecological impacts, a new carrying capacity methodology called Multi-criteria Tourist Reception Analysis-MTRA is proposed. This model decreases the subjectivity of traditional carrying capacities methods, by including in the methodology to determine the maximum number of visits, the Analytical Hierarchical Analysis (AHP), which in turn has an element of mathematical analysis that allows the verification of the process. Additionally, the validation by means of the 3s technique provides greater objectivity to the calculation made, allowing the decision makers to have a more reliable result applicable to the studied territory. This new methodology was applied successfully in Haynes Cay, which is located in the San Andrés archipelago, which is part of the world biosphere reserve-called "Seaflower", obtaining a value of 149 people who can visit the Cayo daily, without this place being degraded by the pressure of tourism.
medición hace uso de variables establecidas en metodologías existentes, e incorpora nuevas variables y factores de corrección en las dimensiones ambiental, social y económica, con el fin de lograr un análisis más integral del territorio en estudio.Los resultados de la tesis esperan aportar a la planificación del atractivo turístico a partir de la definición de una capacidad de carga óptima, la zonificación y la entrega de recomendaciones que permitan el ordenamiento del cayo para promover la actividad turística del Haynes Cay bajo un enfoque de desarrollo sostenible.
