Abstract

This article presents a strategic tool focused on establishing basic guidelines for sustainable development of volcano geotourism in Colombia this type of tourist practice is often associated with ecotourism or nature tourism and therefore it lacks its own guidelines. For this reason, it is intended to respond to the organisational and regulatory need that this type of attractions requires, overcoming the general regulations devoid of differentiating parameters that guide the activities carried out in geosites such as volcanoes. The methodology incorporates: i). Document review; ii). Identification of scenarios with geotourism potential in volcanoes, observation and analysis of the tourist experience and, iii). Interviews with representative expert scholars, the community that provides tourist services and the administrative entities related to the area. Giving that there are not specific guidelines for the practice of tourism in the country's volcanoes this methodology makes it possible to establish that generating a base structure of action parameters acquires significant importance. In conclusion, the guidelines that consider the territory, the socioeconomic, ecosystem and normative dimensions and the tourist activity are proposed, which in accordance with the conscious decisions of the social actors should contribute to the sustainable management of the territory.
