The Decentralized Autonomous Governments (GADs) have several competencies in the tourism field, one of them is to maintain an updated Inventory of tourist attractions. Paute canton has an inventory of attractions elaborated with the Ministry of Tourism methodology of 2004, in which twenty-two attractions were identified; however, in 2017 a new Methodology was issued. This project updates the Inventory under this methodology and takes as base the information of the previous inventory, the Development Plans and Territorial Ordination, and complements it with interviews with presidents and personnel in charge of the tourist area of each one of the parish GADs and some of the local population; with it 54 sites of tourist interest are identified, 22 correspond to tourist attractions and 32 are tourist resources.
