Government Management and Gaps: Analysis of Their Effects on Territorial Tourism

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate [the relationship that specific gaps have with tourism as well as the effects produced in terms of the management of municipal governments to address the problem that also involves actors of the tourism chain such as microentrepreneurs in the provinces of Sabana Centro and Sumapaz in Cundinamarca, Colombia], in order to [analyze barriers, strengths and opportunities for improvement in the sector]. Theoretical Framework: This topic presents the main concepts and theories underpinning the research. [1) Resilience from the analysis of adaptive capacities in the midst of persistent gaps; 2) Linkage and effect on the supply chain; 3) Territorial planning and green vision of tourism] stand out, providing a solid basis for understanding the context of the research. Method: The methodology adopted for this research comprises [a theoretical-conceptual basis, with an exploratory approach of contrast between sectors and associated gaps, with a translocal perspective]. Data collection was carried out through [The use of instruments, in two stages: On the one hand, the application of a semi-structured survey to a purposive sample of 64 entrepreneurs articulated with the tourism chain, from which the digital gap was taken as part of the unit of analysis and on the other hand, others associated with tourism considered as key in sectoral sustainability were analyzed, which were complemented with evaluation of territorial management data in the formulation and presentation of tourism projects before FONTUR]. Results and Discussion: The results obtained revealed [the persistent resistance to the use of ICTs for the development of their tourism marketing activities, a situation that was contrasted with the general results of the population in both provinces, which continue to be significant, in addition to the deficit in territorial management to access resources from the National Tourism Fund due to the scarce presentation of projects]. In the discussion section, these results are contextualized in light of the theoretical framework, highlighting the implications and relationships identified. This section also considers possible discrepancies and limitations of the study. Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed, providing information on how the results can be applied or influence practices in the field of [Territorial planning for the strengthening of tourism is fundamental, integrating and crossing factors and variables that in practice are unknown and affect the objectivity in the diagnoses]. These implications could include [destination management is susceptible to affect results for the municipalities]. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by [dimensioning and contributing with factors that are necessary in the structure of sector diagnoses for the formulation of government plans, which are then translated into the basis for the elected governments to elaborate development plans in their municipalities]. The relevance and value of this research are evidenced in [an efficient planning integrating factors and variables of decision and proposal of improvement towards sectorial plans of tourism].
