Abstract
Rural economic reactivation is intertwined with ecotourism, agrotourism and community tourism projects. Tourism is seen as a line of economic diversification that generates employment, affirms attachment to the land and its resources, and to cultural identities with opportunities. The tourism sector needs to evolve and adapt to new market trends and preferences, but in many cases the industry lacks innovative tools that encourage creativity in the development of products and their promotion and marketing through the Internet and social networks, thus increasing profitability in its operations. This is why the formal objective of this research is to find out if agrotourism as an activity can be a viable and sustainable economic alternative in the post-COVID era. To do this, we take into account relevant and privileged information in order to provide certainty and verify that this activity generates many benefits and advantages for our country and is a symbol of economic growth for each of the regions. Using concrete and real data from specific institutions such as the Ministry of Agricultural Development (MIDA), the Ministry of Tourism (ATP), the Chamber of Commerce and other entities that guarantee the provision of information, we were able to build this informative and descriptive article, which is very necessary for future research and future developments in the different regions. With which we were able to conclude that agrotourism is a sustainable economic alternative capable of generating income in those vulnerable areas of the country and where sustainability is a key element in the development of tourism and therefore it is convenient to say that tourism fully takes into account the current and future economic, social and environmental repercussions to satisfy the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment and the host communities.
