Résumé
"Geotourism has the potential to act out as a strategy for the conservation of the biophysical and cultural features of territory, as well as a strategy to boost development and alleviate the depopulation of rural areas. This paper exposes a situated analysis of geotourism and its implementation, aimed at geological heritage. The studied place is located in the Mining District of Tlalpujahua-El Oro, located in a rural mountain area in central Mexico. Methodology is based on Participatory Action Research (PAR) with local inhabitants, along with the proposal of a geological heritage catalogue in order to deploy geotourism. Both, fieldwork and workshops identified the strengths and opportunities of the site in order to manage geotourism. The results show the sense of belonging and identification of local population regarding geological heritage in the studied area and endorse the suitability of participatory action to launch sustainable tourism projects."
