The teaching of social history as a contribution to tourism development in the province of Esmeraldas

Abstract

The insufficient use of the teaching of social history as a contribution to tourism and territorial development in the province of Esmeraldas, limits social relevance to being part of the training process at the Luis Vargas Torres Technical University. Accordingly, this article aims to propose teaching activities, as part of the teaching of social history, to contribute to the knowledge of the tourist potentialities that the people of Esmeraldas have. Methods such as analysis-synthesis, content analysis and document review were used. The results serve as a premise for a more socially relevant university education.
