Joint collaborative efforts between LU and organizations in El Salvador will help empower small farmers and will further advance agricultural and ecological education for low-income students in El Salvador and in Missouri. During site visits, local leaders from different agencies and community organizations and the LU delegation engaged in conversations to learn from each other’s experiences.

  • Tourism in El Salvador: the Challenge of Consolidating As an Emerging Destination
    Cuadernos de Turismo, nº 27, (2011); pp. 1105-1108 Universidad de Murcia ISSN: 1139-7861 TOURISM IN EL SALVADOR: THE CHALLENGE OF CONSOLIDATING AS AN EMERGING DESTINATION Fracisco Javier Jover Martí Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha [email protected] The changes that have been taking place since the end of the 20th Century in the motivations of tourist demand have impacted in the emergence of new trends in tourism. These constant transformations are associated with exhaustion, saturation and obsolescence of the traditional model of tourism development. New production and consumption processes of leisure have been configured; in them the singularization and the differentiation of the product are the main features compared to the previous guidance range tourist production to consumption for massive and undifferentiated. The tourists base their choice on the possibility of getting the best competitive advantages which includes the enjoyment of unique and unforgettable experiences. So, it has led to the insertion of new destinations in the international tourist scene. There are some new destinations that were hidden in the international tourist map until recently. In some cases, their emergence has meant a great competency to other destinations with an acknowledged trajectory in this field. Since the beginning of mobility because of leisure purposes the increase in diversification and differentiation of destinations has been a recurrent constant, although not with the same intensity as that of recent years. At the moment, these emerging destinations are becoming more relatively important compared to most established destinations because of the increase in the international arrivals. These exotic destinations combine with aspects can be found in traditional tourist destinations, so they can enter into strong competition.

  • An Assessment of the Potential for Developing Ecotourism in the San Francisco Menéndez Sector of El Imposible National Park, El Salvador
    AN ASSESSMENT OF THE POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPING ECOTOURISM IN THE SAN FRANCISCO MENÉNDEZ SECTOR OF EL IMPOSIBLE NATIONAL PARK, EL SALVADOR A PROJECT Presented to the Faculty of the University of Alaska Fairbanks in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE By Erin P. Kelly, B.A. Fairbanks, Alaska May 2009 ABSTRACT El Imposible, the largest and most biologically diverse National Park in El Salvador, has been co- managed by SalvaNATURA, a Salvadoran environmental NGO, and the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment since 1991. The Park protects some the country’s few remaining sources of uncontaminated water, and serves as El Salvador’s final refuge for several threatened animal species. One of the biggest challenges facing the Park’s managers is that approximately 30 families inhabit the Park, 23 of which are located within the study area. With a high poverty level and few employment opportunities, the families depend on agriculture and the natural resources found within El Imposible for survival. These families inhabited El Imposible prior to it being declared a national park in 1989, and many do not have the option of relocating, if so desired, due to financial constraints. SalvaNATURA, in recent years, has been encouraging ecotourism in the San Francisco Menéndez sector of El Imposible through the implementation of small-scale, community-based projects. The primary aim has been to conserve and protect the Park’s biodiversity, while also creating alternative forms of income generating activities for local peoples, promoting environmental education, and sustainably developing the area as an attractive tourist destination.
