    This research, entitled "Cultural Identity and Tourism; Case Study: Caporales Festival, Angamarca Parish," was developed with the objective of investigating the relationship between the cultural identity of the Caporales Festival of Angamarca and tourism activity. The importance of this research lies in the valorization of the living traditions of the Caporales Festival as an expression of cultural identity and its potential as a tourist attraction. This celebration is characterized by the presence of symbolic figures such as the Recuante, the Doña, the Caporal, the Capitana, the Chinas, the Guaricha, the Yumbos, and the Payaso, whose representations embody collective memory, the feminine role, popular spirituality, and the ancestral work of the community. The methodology applied was qualitative, using instruments such as index cards and observation, where we conducted semi-structured interviews with local stakeholders and observations. As a result, it was evident that despite limited promotion and a lack of tourism planning, the cultural event of the Caporales festival generates interest in tourists and strengthens cultural pride among residents, highlighting the authenticity, identity, and symbolic richness of each festive figure. In conclusion, well-planned tourism activities within the parish are an effective strategy for boosting community tourism and enhancing cultural identity, provided that tourism services are well planned and implemented.

    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Turismo, 2025-07-02) Barreno Tustón Lisbeth Carolina; Toledo Villacis Marco Antonio; Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Turismo
    The main objective of this research project is to evaluate the relationship between tourism promotion and rural customs in the canton of Quero, recognizing them as key elements for strengthening cultural identity and boosting local tourism development. The research is relevant in that it highlights the canton's traditional customs as resources that, when properly promoted, can generate economic, social, and cultural benefits. The methodology applied was based on a qualitative, inductive, and descriptive approach. A non-experimental, cross-sectional design was used, with an interpretive scope based on the experience of local actors. To collect information, a non-probabilistic convenience sample was selected, applying interviews with key informants and inventory files from the National Institute of Cultural Heritage (INPC). Among the results related to tourism promotion, strengths such as participation in fairs, a consolidated graphic identity, and the authenticity of messages were identified; however, weaknesses such as poor digital planning, low institutional coordination, and limited sustainable actions were also evident. In terms of rural customs, representative manifestations were identified that could be integrated into the tourism offer in a structured manner. Finally, as a proposal, a digital magazine based on these customs was designed in order to revalue the canton's intangible heritage and project it as a culturally attractive destination. It is concluded that it is necessary to articulate tourism promotion with cultural practices from a strategic, participatory, and sustainable perspective, incorporating new technologies and strengthening territorial identity as a differentiating element from other destinations.
