Valoración de la vocación turística del bosque protector del Collay con influencia en las cabeceras parroquiales El Pan, Sevilla de Oro y Delegsol, centrado en elementos bioculturales, infraestructura y participación comunitaria

Abstract

Touristic vocation refers to the ability of a territory to attract visitors and sustain tourism activities. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a precise analysis of resources and the perception of the population. This study addresses the analysis of touristic vocation in the El Collay protected forest, focusing on the parish capitals of El Pan, Sevilla de Oro, and Delegsol, based on biocultural elements, infrastructure, and local participation. For this purpose, a qualitative approach was applied, allowing the evaluation of territorial capacity and aptitude variables. Additionally, semi-structured interviews, field visits, and document reviews were included. The main results highlight that the areas visited within the analyzed territory show a positive disposition towards tourism activities; however, there are aspects that require improvement actions.
