Abstract

Bolivia es uno de los países con mayor riqueza natural del planeta, incluso uno de sus Parques Nacionales fue declarado el área protegida más biodiversa del planeta (New York Times, 2018) (Larrea & Quintanilla, s.f.). Esta riqueza se ve concentrada en sus áreas protegidas1 . Algunas de estas áreas, como la Reserva Natural de Fauna Andina Eduardo Avaroa o el Parque Nacional Madidi, atraen a turistas de todo el mundo, los cuales, una vez en Bolivia, descubren su vasta oferta turística2 . El turismo en áreas protegidas se basa principalmente en la promoción de actividades de ecoturismo, turismo comunitario y actividades de aventura o deportes extremos, entre otros (Ministerio de Culturas y Turismo, 2015). Si bien las áreas protegidas que tienen mayor vocación turística presentan atractivos completamente distintos, el común denominador tiene que ver con la riqueza natural de estas áreas, como elemento fundamental para la promoción y el desarrollo de la actividad turística. Esa belleza natural y su valor en términos de la biodiversidad y las funciones ecosistémicas que ofrecen son ampliamente reconocidas, sin embargo, aún queda pendiente conocer su valor económico.
