| Descripción: | Objective: To assess the level of sustainability, based on stakeholders’ tourism perceptions of Loreto Bay National Park (LBNP) in Mexico. Methodology: Indicators were selected and organized in three components: (1) destination management; (2) social, economic, and cultural impact; (3) environmental impact; and two dimensions: social and environmental. Surveys were applied to tourist companies, residents, and visitors. Contingency tables were used to identify significant dependence between indicators. Results: The results showed an acceptable sustainability level. Indicators with lower value were residents’ knowledge about PA, the benefit they obtain from tourism, as well as their partici-pation in environmental activities. Limitations: Some of the indicators used are specific to LBNP, therefore they should be adequate for each PA. Conclusions: The study concludes with the contributions of the method and a series of recommendations to increases residents’ economic benefit and their involvement in PA management. |
