Este capítulo aborda el sobreturismo como un medio para analizar los impactos y límites del desarrollo turístico capitalista tardío en las áreas naturales protegidas de las Islas Galápagos y sus alrededores. El análisis de contenido cualitativo apunta hacia tres temas emergentes: (i) rápida diversificación de la economía turística terrestre de las Galápagos; (ii) ambivalencia política hacia la gobernanza del crecimiento del turismo y la lógica de la conservación; y (iii) cambios radicales en los patrones de representación en línea de las Galápagos como destino turístico que ocurren a través de la marca y la publicidad. Finalmente, se abre una discusión sobre los resultados previsibles de las narrativas de saturación turística implantadas mucho más allá de las localidades metropolitanas y los puntos calientes del turismo urbano europeo.

The Nature Conservancy’s Blue Bonds for Conservation model helps governments unlock funding for conservation—and could benefit millions of people in coastal regions. Demonstrated by successful projects in Barbados, Belize and the Seychelles. The Blue Bonds strategy combines conservation finance with TNC’s science and marine planning expertise to help governments unlock funds at a scale that delivers against their conservation goals while also supporting the well-being of their communities and economies. The strategy is aligned with global goals to protect 30% of the world’s ocean, lands and freshwater by 2030.
