A decade of whale watching in an important tourist destination in the Pacific coast of Colombia: Challenges for proper management
Iniciativas sostenibles
Turismo sostenibleWhale watching is a growing tourism activity worldwide. Commercial whale watching began in South America in the 1990s (Hoyt and Iñíguez, 2008; Hoyt and Parsons, 2014). In Colombia, whale watching started in Bahía Málaga (Valle del Cauca Department) in 1994 (Arias-Gaviria et al., 2011). Since August 2010, this area is part of the Uramba Bahía Málaga Natural National Park (Málaga NNP) (Avila et al., 2015). Whale-watching activities then spread to Tribugá and Cupica gulfs (Chocó Department) in 1997, and Tumaco (Nariño Department) around 2010 (Arias-Gaviria et al., 2011). Whale-watching tourism generates income and employment in coastal communities and raises awareness on whale and dolphin conservation needs (Zeppel and Muloin, 2008).
