Segovia Aranibar, E. L., Osorio Rojas, E. A., & Quiñones Yalico, K. M. (2025). Analysis of Recreational Specialization in Birdwatchers and Its Influence on Ornithological Ecotourism in the Chaviña Wetlands. Universidad Ciencia Y Tecnología, 29(127), 78-87. https://doi.org/10.47460/uct.v29i127.965
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the level of recreational specialization among birdwatchers engaging in ornithological ecotourism in the Chaviña wetlands. Using a quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental design, researchers administered questionnaires to birdwatchers and documented their activities across three ecotourism routes within the wetland. Results indicated that 67 birdwatchers demonstrated excellent behavioral standards, while only 19 exhibited high commitment levels. The findings suggest that recreational specialization among birdwatchers represents a viable foundation for developing ornithological ecotourism in the Chaviña wetlands.
