Renovación de destinos y percepción de la protección ambiental. El caso de Fuerteventura (Islas Canarias, España)

Abstract

Renewal Strategies for mature destinations are diverse. In the case Fuerteventura, local governments have begun a renewal and singling process through the commitment by the activation of different forms of heritage and some changes in the island projected image, introducing certain attributes that had not been inserted clearly in the tourist speeches. These processes involve dynamic in which new meanings are not always taken into account the different ways of thinking about territory by residents of the destination. This work focuses on the perception of the three major groups of land users in question (native people, residents and tourists) about different environmental protection proposals, on the assumption that they will be significantly different because their particular degree of involvement with the island.

Archaeological Research in the Canary Islands: Island Archaeology off Africa’s Atlantic Coast

“…Other evidence is comparably weak, including the previously mentioned Zanata Stone, the vague parallels adduced by Atoche between infant pot burials on Tenerife and Gran Canaria and those from Punic/Phoenician North Africa, and a supposedly Punic/Phoenician stone well at El Rubicón, Lanzarote, that is generally thought to be of 15th century Norman origin (Martín Ruíz 2015). Arguments that the Canaries were strategically important for Phoenician/Carthaginian trade along the West African coast (e.g., Santana Santana and Arcos Pereira 2006) are also unlikely, given the lack of hard evidence in the first place (Roller 2006) and the improbability that, even if it did take place, it would have justified more than ephemeral visits to the archipelago (Medas 2008). For all these reasons, Punic/Phoenician-mediated settlement of the islands should be excluded (Alberto-Borraso et al 2022a;Martín Ruíz 2015).…”

La estructura de oportunidades empresariales en los destinos turísticos de sol y playa. El caso de Fuerteventura (Canarias)

“…Al tiempo, y progresivamente diversos espacios naturales y bienes culturales se han venido poniendo en valor turístico. En medio de este proceso, hay que destacar la declaración de la isla como Reserva de la Biosfera (Santana et al, 2011). La acción pública contribuye a la diversificación del producto turístico, como lo muestran diversas acciones recientes (inauguración de la red insular de senderos, del mirador astronómico de Sicasumbre, y del observatorio de aves; o la organización de festivales de música).…”

El espacio público turístico recreativo de Miramar, Buenos Aires, y sus procesos de valorización en un contexto de renovación (desde 2011 hasta 2023), en pos de un manejo sustentable

“…Si bien estas estrategias son ampliamente difundidas por su foco en el usuario, el resultado de las intervenciones sobre el espacio público turístico-recreativo genera beneficios que no siempre se reparten equitativamente entre el sector privado y la comunidad usuaria de los espacios. Por eso se suele asociar con estrategias de rentabilización del espacio (Santana Talavera et al, 2011).…”
