Abstract
This article analyzes from a social anthropological vision, history and evolution of the tourism in Nicaragua as a tool for sustainable development locally. Specifying in the project of the Union of Agricultural Cooperatives Tierra y Agua, it discusses about the methodological process for the implementation of a rural tourism that fosters greater opportunities for the local community. Heiress Sandinista revolutionary legacy, the UCA Tierra y Agua has been consolidated in Nicaragua as an alternative to traditional sun and beach tourism offering involved with sustainable development. Both the cooperative and the UCA assembly system is analyzed, such as effort, joint work and the will of its members, to find out a development alternative to their main activity, which is still agriculture. Through a study, based on fieldwork and statistical analysis of visitors to the UCA, in 2009, we establish, through its profile, taste and status, the prototype of tourists who decide to choose this option for their holidays.
