Abstract

This work is based on data from the survey conducted in two communities from Puntarenas Central County, which is one of the main historical centers of tourism in the country. These communities present several differences from one another both social and economical, one is Juanito Mora, located in the district of Barranca and the other one is the central district of Puntarenas, which happens to be an integral part of what is known as the old city holding the same name. The aim of the research was to determine the impact of tourism in these communities and more specifically, to characterize households, to know the composition of the economically active population, to identify the source of incomes and to know the opinions that people have regarding tourism, local culture and the role of local institutions in the development of these communities. This has the purpose of providing information to community decision makers. In order to determine how the residents of these regions perceive tourism and its benefits as an economical activity, a number of sociodemographic variables are to be compared with the opinion obtained from neighbors of these two communities: Juanito Mora and Puntarenas Central District.
