CAMACHO-RUI, Edali; CARRILLO-REYES, Arturo; RIOJA-PARADELA, Tamara Mila  y  ESPINOZA-MEDINILLA, Eduardo E.. Sustainability Indicators for Ecotourism in Mexico: Current State. LiminaR [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.1, pp.156-168. ISSN 2007-8900.

Current management of ecotourism centers is based on intrinsic knowledge of natural and economic areas, cultural resources of local communities where tourism is developed. However, knowledge about the sustainability of these centers is far from complete, and the existence and use of indicators for diagnosis and evaluation to determine the distance to meet sustainability goals. This manuscript is a review of the use of tourism sustainability indicators in México and it attempts to analyze the information gaps; it also suggests implications for ecoturism activity for ecotourism activity. The article proposes that the construction of a system of indicators with generalities and specificities not only promotes the sustainable management of the destination, but also can be a means to dialogue among social actors involved.

Palabras llave : ecotourism; sustainable development; environmental indicators; environmental policy.
