“…El riesgo que identifican los autores es la debilidad negociadora que enfrentan los hacedores de políticas locales con respecto a los operadores de cruceros en una industria oligopolística, lo que da como resultado un incremento del flujo de cruceristas en detrimento del turismo tradicional. Van Beukering et al (2015) consideran que, si bien, la mayor parte de los turistas que llega a Bermudas lo hace en cruceros, el gasto que estos realizan es ínfimo comparado con el que hace el turismo tradicional (el crucerista gasta el 9 % de lo que lo hace el turista de estadía). Además, el excedente del productor proveniente del turismo tradicional es el doble que el del crucerismo.…”

En Uruguay, como ocurre en otros países latinoamericanos, el turismo de cruceros ha aumentado su importancia como generador de divisas. Con el objetivo de contribuir a la planificación de los programas turísticos e intensificar dicha tendencia, en este trabajo se analizan los distintos determinantes del gasto de cruceristas en los puertos de desembarco de Punta del Este y Montevideo. Las estimaciones de modelos de selección de Heckman sobre las encuestas de los años 2010 a 2014 muestran que son algunas pocas características las que determinan el nivel de gasto: la nacionalidad, viajar en grupo, visitar Montevideo y, particularmente, el grado de satisfacción con el viaje. Este patrón no ha experimentado variaciones significativas en el periodo de análisis.

“…A number of studies have quantified the economic value of coral reefs (Cesar, 2000;Brander et al, 2007;Griffen and Drake, 2008;Laurans et al, 2013) however, most of studies focus on a handful of coral reef ecosystems services such as provisioning services (Christina et al, 2014;Joelle et al, 2015), regulating services (coastal protection) (Zanten et al, 2014;Nalini et al, 2015;Pascal et al, 2016), cultural services (tourism and recreation) (van Beukering et al, 2015;Diane et al, 2017;Mark et al, 2017;Subade and Francisco, 2014), and the management aspect (Johnson and Saunders, 2014;Kelly, 2015;Ngoc, 2017Ngoc, , 2018. Only a limited number evaluate the impacts of climate change on coral reefs.…”

Coastal communities are exerting increasingly more pressure on coral reef ecosystem services in the Anthropocene. Balancing trade-offs between local economic demands, preservation of traditional values, and maintenance of both biodiversity and ecosystem resilience is a challenge for reef managers and resource users. Consistently, growing reef tourism sectors offer more lucrative livelihoods than subsistence and artisanal fisheries at the cost of traditional heritage loss and ecological damage. Using a systematic review of coral reef fishery reconstructions since the 1940s, we show that declining trends in fisheries catch and fish stocks dominate coral reef fisheries globally, due in part to overfishing of schooling and spawningaggregating fish stocks vulnerable to exploitation. Using a separate systematic review of coral reef tourism studies since 2013, we identify socio-ecological impacts and economic opportunities associated to the industry. Fisheries and tourism have the potential to threaten the ecological stability of coral reefs, resulting in phase shifts toward less productive coral-depleted ecosystem states. We consider whether four common management strategies (unmanaged commons, ecosystem-based management, co-management, and adaptive co-management) fulfil eco-logical conservation and socioeconomic goals, such as living wage, job security, and maintenance of cultural traditions. Strategies to enforce resource exclusion and withhold traditional resource rights risk social unrest; thus, the coexistence of fisheries and tourism industries is essential. The purpose of this chapter is to assist managers and scientists in their responsibility to devise implementable strategies that protect local community livelihoods and the coral reefs on which they rely.
