El turismo, vital para la economía global, ha experimentado un crecimiento significativo, destacando el turismo de naturaleza centrado en cascadas, que promueve el bienestar y la sostenibilidad. Sin embargo, la pandemia de Covid-19 ha impactado severamente este sector, generando pérdidas económicas y redefiniendo las estrategias de recuperación y seguridad para el futuro. Por ello la presente investigación se centra en analizar la situación del Turismo de Naturaleza enfocado a las cascadas a partir de la aparición del Covid-19 y los desafíos que atraviesa actualmente dentro de la Frontera Amazónica Binacional Colombo-Ecuatoriana. Para ello se utilizó tres enfoques: revisión bibliográfica, entrevistas a prestadores de servicios turísticos y juicio de expertos. Los principales resultados muestran que La actividad turística en la Frontera Colombo-Ecuatoriana se vio afectada por el conflicto armado hasta 2016 y luego por la pandemia de COVID-19. A pesar de los desafíos, hay oportunidades para la recuperación del turismo de naturaleza, especialmente debido a la creciente demanda de experiencias al aire libre. Los prestadores de servicios turísticos enfrentan desafíos en términos de adaptación a nuevas normativas y coordinación binacional, pero ven oportunidades para fortalecer la resiliencia y promover el crecimiento sostenible del turismo en la región.

The importance of waterfalls in the Ecuadorian Amazon is highlighted as a fundamental component for promoting sustainable development and boosting tourism in local communities. Indeed, it is emphasized that these natural spaces not only dazzle with their imposing scenic beauty, but also play a vital role in preserving the ecological balance and biological richness of the area. Consequently, their protection and care should be a priority in tourism development policies. It is also noted that nature tourism centered on waterfalls has enormous potential to generate significant economic benefits for the Amazonian populations. However, it should be noted that for these benefits to be truly sustainable over time, it is essential to implement conscious and responsible tourism initiatives that prevent the deterioration of ecosystems and ensure a fair and equitable distribution of the income generated. This research highlights the imperative need to embrace a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to protect and sustainably manage the waterfalls of the Ecuadorian Amazon, harmonising the optimisation of economic benefits for local communities, the application of responsible tourism practices and the enhancement of their ecological and cultural significance. Only through this holistic approach will it be possible to ensure the preservation of these natural treasures for future generations, while promoting equitable and environmentally friendly socio-economic development.

“…Social media is currently considered a very influential source of information for a wide audience of potential travellers, as it is how many tourists share their experiences, recommendations and opinions. In addition, this information affects tourists' revisit intentions (Nautiyal, Polus, Tripathi & Shaheer, 2023). It is important to consider the potential of online channels, as their rapid dissemination and wide reach can attract many tourists and have unintended consequences such as overtourism (Wengel et al, 2022).…”

Although the Internet and e-commerce have contributed positively to the tourism sector, there is not much empirical research on the transformation of distribution channels or that considers the use of the Internet in travel planning as an antecedent of tourist satisfaction and loyalty. This paper aims to test the influence of online distribution channels in trip planning by tourists on their general satisfaction level and their loyalty towards the destination and to differentiate the profile of digital and traditional tourists. Quantitative research techniques are used to analyse the dataset of 1,387 surveys of tourists visiting the province of Burgos, Spain. Among those surveyed, 65% search for information online and 54% book or pay for services online. According to ordinal regression analysis, the use of online channels does not significantly influence the level of satisfaction, but according to binary logistic regression, it does significantly influence loyalty. The findings provide valuable information for developing marketing strategies in tourism organisations and support decision-makers in creating competitive tourism destinations that are resilient to the demographic challenge of depopulation.
