description This paper examines the definition of Green Economy and discusses the potential of the tourism sector to serve as a success case story to implement the principles of this development model. To attain this goal, we focus on the tourism regulatory framework, mainly in the infrastructure needed to develop tourism activities on these areas, and then provide policy recommendations in order to remove the perverse incentives present in the current regulations, which could threaten the conservation of natural resources and the ecosystem services that they provide to society.

Para esto se hace énfasis en el marco regulatorio turístico, sobre todo en la sección de infraestructura necesaria para las actividades turísticas en estos territorios, y luego se brindan recomendaciones de política con el objetivo de eliminar los incentivos perversos presentes en la normativa actual, los cuales podrían amenazar la conservación de los recursos naturales y de los servicios ecosistémicos que estos brindan a la sociedad. 2013-01-28 2022-03-17T18:48:12Z 2022-03-17T18:48:12Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/688 10.21678/apuntes.73.688 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/53019 spa eng https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/688/689 https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/688/690 Derechos de autor 2017 Apuntes http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf application/pdf Universidad del Pacífico Apuntes.
