 Creating and Developing a Sustainable Resort Development in a World Heritage Site: A Case Study of Cusco, PeruWilly A. Aroca ()
A chapter in Emerging Challenges in Business, Optimization, Technology, and Industry, 2018, pp 37-58 from Springer Abstract: Abstract This is a perception study of the impact that sustainable resort development has, and will have, on the resident population of the Cusco region of Peru. The increase in development in the area is a result of the city’s recent designation as a World Heritage Site and the resulting impact on the income, quality of life and environment of residents of Cusco and the surrounding has been assessed. Participant stakeholders responded to questions concerning how the development and launch of sustainable resorts in the Cusco region will affect their community. The research reflects the varying concerns and perceptions of each sector interviewed. Despite the differences in social and financial status, residents seem united in their overall concerns about how the new designation and resulting development will affect the local environment.
