Local productive systems and tourism. Alternative for socioeconomic development in Cuba

Abstract

In the analysis of socio-economic development in Cuba, the municipality-tourism articulation is assumed as a strategic necessity. However, this relational process has not reached the desired levels, expressing this, a contradiction that manifests itself in the need to favor articulating processes between the municipality and the sectorial tourist activity and the limited contribution of the current local productive forms. In response to the above, the following is presented as a problem: limited articulation between the municipality and the sectorial tourism activity with a focus on local development, defining itself as the objective: theoretically to base the viability of local productive systems, as an alternative for the articulation of municipal tourism sectors with a focus to local development, secondary sources are used in the verification of the current state of the problem at national level, obtaining as a result from the materialistic dialectical method, theoretical elements that visualize local productive systems as local productive organizational forms suitable for the achievement of this articulation.
