Educational tourism: Valuation and conservation of the natural resources in chilla and pasaje

Abstract:

This work is based on educational contributions from the tourism perspective and the natural resources conservation. The academy is the fundamental part to discuss Educational Tourism since all the related activities are part of the teaching-learning processes that transmits traditions, customs and the natural resources valuation of a specific region. The study was conducted in the districts of Chilla and Pasaje in the Oro Province. This is a descriptive analytic no experimental research with a mixed methodology. A survey was applied to 401 participants randomly chosen from two districts. The V of Crammer established the effect magnitude and/or the dependency strength, and the OR recognized the risk factor and the Ch2 for the validation of the null hypothesis. The results indicate that there is a direct relationship between the survey respondent instruction levels versus the natural resources valuation. It was revealed that in the secondary level the average 88,8% of moderate importance to low resulted extremely high against 11,20% of medium to high importance. Similar studies concluded that the Educational Tourism model can ease this low valuation since the students function in an environment that allows them to understand how the ecosystem operates.
