dc.descriptionErradicar la pobreza y detener la deforestación son dos de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible. El ecoturismo se considera una estrategia gana-gana que puede aumentar los ingresos y preservar los bosques. Sin embargo, no existen evaluaciones de impacto bien identificadas de ambas variables al mismo tiempo. Setenta y seis municipios de Colombia fueron asignados aleatoriamente a un grupo de control o a un grupo de tratamiento que recibió promoción de ecoturismo. Este estudio estima los efectos socioeconómicos y ambientales de nueve meses de tratamiento utilizando una especificación ANCOVA que controla por los valores de línea base. En los municipios tratados, encuentro un aumento del 30% en el número de turistas y del 16% en el número de trabajadores. Sin embargo, no hay efectos estadísticamente significativos sobre las ganancias de las empresas, la pobreza o los ingresos familiares. Al mismo tiempo, encuentro una reducción del 100% de las alertas de deforestación alrededor de los sitios de ecoturismo tratados. Estos resultados ilustran la importancia de las oportunidades económicas para las comunidades locales a fin de preservar los bosques.spa
dc.description.abstractEradicating poverty and halting deforestation are two of the Sustainable Development Goals. Eco-tourism is considered a win-win strategy that can increase income and preserve forests. However, there are no well-identified impact evaluations of both variables at the same time. Seventy-six municipalities in Colombia were randomly assigned to either a control group or a treatment group that received eco-tourism promotion. I estimate the socio-economic and environmental effects of nine months of treatment using an ANCOVA specification that controls for baseline individual outcomes. In treated municipalities, I find an increase of 30% in the number of tourists and 16% in the number of workers. However, there are no statistically significant effects on business profits, poverty, or household income. At the same time, I do find a reduction of 100% of deforestation alerts around treated eco-tourism sites. These results illustrate the importance of economic opportunities for local communities in order to preserve forests.spa
