Turismo y desarrollo sustentable del Qhapaq-Ñan: problemas y oportunidades de desarrollo

The Qhapaq Ñan, the largest serial archaeological heritage site in the Americas, spans six Andean countries and represents the tangible expression of Inca expansion and cultural coexistence. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014, it offers significant potential for sustainable local development through tourism, as highlighted by Fabbroni et al. (2020). The study emphasizes that tourism can serve as an agent of endogenous and sustainable development, generating opportunities to improve the quality of life for local communities without compromising the integrity of this exceptional heritage. By adopting a territorial approach that views the landscape as an 'entramado de intereses' or 'agente de transformación social,' the research underscores the importance of collaborative efforts among diverse stakeholders—including governments, provinces, and sectors—to preserve and develop the Qhapaq Ñan responsibly.
