Turismo Comunitario

A 90-minute, 4-round Express simulation from the seat of a young member of a community tourism association on the Pacific coast of Choco, Colombia, newly trained as a tourist guide, who becomes the coordinator of the visitor day: designing one sellable day around one story instead of eight stops, with a script, a group size the place can take and daylight to sail back; costing the visit per boat - gasoline, the boatman, the guides, lunch, the engine upkeep, materials and the community fund - for a full boat and a half-empty one, and pricing from that cost rather than from the hotels tour; running safety at sea by a written rule (life jackets worn, capacity kept, a go/no-go against a written sea limit, a last departure, checks and first aid); taking bookings with a deposit and posting the rotation of families and guides; keeping the visitor limit the assembly agreed when a large agency group asks; settling every visit with every hand and reading the accounts in the assembly; and reviewing prices and training the next guides every January.

Dayana Renteria Cuesta (fictional) coordinates the Asociacion Comunitaria Mar y Monte (fictional) of the fictional vereda Corocito, near Nuqui, from January 2027 to the end of 2028. You decide what the day is and how the price is set, how safety and bookings are run, what you do with a 40-person group when the limit is 24 and how the money is settled, and the 2028 prices and what the community builds next.

Scored on the visit run with its numbers, the chance that the venture is still running and paying the families, the community income protected, your time and energy, the community trust, the operation in order (sea and accounts), and open risk; two shortcuts (boats sailing overloaded in any sea, a group taken off the books) come back and cap the score. Spanish (Colombia) primary, English included.

An intermediate simulation for participants who already know the core concepts of the subject, designed for master's and MBA programmes.
