Turismo sostenible y empoderamiento comunitario en Canta, Lima-Perú
Sustainable tourism and community empowerment in Canta, Lima-PeruContenido principal del artículo
El turismo sostenible en zonas rurales afronta desafíos complejos en el contexto postpandemia, especialmente en la vinculación entre la acción comunitaria y la gobernanza institucional. Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar cómo el compromiso comunitario, mediado por el empoderamiento de la comunidad y moderado por el apoyo institucional, influye en los resultados del turismo sostenible. Para ello, se aplicaron encuestas a 285 actores locales de la provincia de Canta (Perú) en 2024 y se estimó un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales con adecuados índices de ajuste (CFI = 0.96, TLI = 0.95, RMSEA = 0.05). Los resultados muestran que el empoderamiento comunitario media completamente la relación entre compromiso comunitario y beneficios económicos y sociales, mientras que el apoyo institucional intensifica el efecto indirecto del compromiso sobre los resultados sostenibles. En conjunto, el estudio aporta evidencia clave para comprender la arquitectura causal del turismo sostenible en contextos andinos y orientar políticas basadas en participación comunitaria y fortalecimiento institucional.
Sustainable tourism in rural areas faces complex challenges in the post-pandemic context, particularly regarding the link between community action and institutional governance. This study aims to analyze how community engagement, mediated by community empowerment and moderated by institutional support, influences sustainable tourism outcomes. To this end, surveys were administered to 285 local stakeholders in the province of Canta (Peru) in 2024, and a structural equation model with adequate fit indices (CFI = 0.96, TLI = 0.95, RMSEA = 0.05) was estimated. The results show that community empowerment fully mediates the relationship between community engagement and economic and social benefits, while institutional support intensifies the indirect effect of engagement on sustainable outcomes. Overall, the study provides key evidence for understanding the causal architecture of sustainable tourism in Andean contexts and for guiding policies based on community participation and institutional strengthening.
