Social cohesion and territorial roots in community rural tourism: case of the Usme location Bogotá-Colombia

Abstract

A model of sustainable community rural tourism is complex, so the objective of this study is to assess the influence of factors such as social cohesion and territorial roots in the locality of Usme (Bogotá-Colombia), a territory with natural and cultural heritage very significant. A documentary study is carried out to analyze national and international experiences and a field study through semi-structured interviews and direct observation on the ground. The results confirm that the aforementioned factors are key to the success of the turism entrepreneurships.
