Impact of La Rotonda recreational park

The purpose of this research work is to analyse the impacts of the start-up of the La Rotonda park on tourism and socio-economic activities in Portoviejo. In order to approach this research, we took as a reference framework the background of studies on the various impacts generated by parks immersed in a growing and developing society, as well as the conceptualisations of the types of parks that exist. For this purpose, research methodologies such as field studies and documentary research were used, applying information gathering techniques such as structured and unstructured interviews, obtaining relevant data for the elaboration of the results, which show that the Rotonda Park contributes to three important aspects such as social, economic and tourism development. The modernisation of this recreational space brings with it a considerable decrease in crime in the area, thus generating well-being for the people who live in the area of influence of La Rotonda Park.
