Turismo patrimonial como estrategia de desarrollo local: un análisis socioeconómico de su incidencia en el municipio de San Agustín (Colombia)

Heritage tourism in San Agustín, Colombia, significantly boosts local socioeconomic development but faces challenges in accessibility and profitability. A mixed-methods study revealed high visitor satisfaction with infrastructure, with guests spending between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 per stay. However, stakeholders identified gaps in promotion and economic sustainability, emphasizing the need for improved governance and diversification of tourism experiences. The research highlights that balancing economic growth with cultural preservation requires stronger infrastructure, participatory collaboration, and enhanced heritage appreciation to ensure long-term destination sustainability.
