Abstract


This research elaborates a proposal to consider Barrancas del Cobre as a possible candidate to be named a Unesco Global Geopark. Within the guidelines of this program are several and specific criteria about the operation and management of the area that desire this recognition. In them, it is found that heritage conservation practices and an information center for visitors are necessary, because Barrancas del Cobre does not have these basic needs, an information center is proposed that allows the registration of visitors and, therefore, a study of load capacity can be carried out, also, it is proposed that said registration of visitors be done through a mobile application. The methodology used for the research was qualitative and the literature review technique, analytical and comparative method with practical cases was used as well, all countered and based on UNESCO standards.


Key words: Tourist information centers, sustainability, mobile application, tourist management
