Resumen
La provincia de Villa Clara actualmente se inserta entre los principales polos
turísticos del archipiélago cubano. Esto está dado por la existencia de un sistema de cayos adyacentes a la costa. No obstante, el territorio cuenta con otros espacios
naturales de interés turístico cuyo desarrollo aún no es próspero. El turismo como
alternativa de desarrollo de la región trae aparejado una contradicción: por un lado el de ser una importante fuente de ingresos y en oposición, una vía de alteración
ambiental. En esta investigación se brinda una herramienta integradora en la gestión de las unidades ambientales para potenciar un turismo diversificado en la provincia y así obtener información relevante que nutra a los decisores de manera consistente, tanto a nivel regional como local. Contar con la propuesta de las modalidades turísticas que correspondan a las unidades ambientales de Villa Clara, permite establecer lineamientos y acciones conjuntas entre diferentes entidades que propicien la gestión turística sostenible del territorio; asimismo su salida cartográfica en Sistema de Información Geográfico (SIG) de unidades ambientales catalogadas como diferentes categorías de manejo. Esta expresión cartográfica pretende, además de lograr un adecuado manejo de los componentes funcionales con un enfoque holístico, contribuir al aumento de la calidad de vida de las comunidades vecinas.
The province of Villa Clara is now inserted in-between the main tourist poles of the Cuban archipelago; this is because of the presence of a keys system adjacent to the coast. However the area has other natural places of tourist interest that their development is still not thriving. Tourism as a development alternative of the region results in a contradiction: on one hand to be a major source of income and in opposition, a way of altering the environment. In this research, we provide an integrated tool in the management of environmental units to enhance a diversified tourism in the province and to obtain relevant information that back up decision in a consistent way, both regionally and locally. To propose tourism patterns that correspond to the environmental units of Villa Clara, guidelines and allows for coordinated actions between different entities that foster sustainable tourism management of the territory, also provides the cartographic outcomes of environmental units classified with environmental management categories. This cartographic expression aims also to ensure appropriate management of functional components with a holistic approach, helping to increase the quality of life for neighboring communities.
