Resumo: | Although the tourism sector is tightly connected to environmental issues, it is one of the least prepared to deal with changes in environmental conditions, especially with climate changes. Monitoring environmental quality in consolidated coastal destinations becomes fundamental to face the complexity involving marine and coastal ecosystems and tourist afflux. The assessment of stakeholders’ perspective of the benefits these ecosystems provide can be a first step towards the use of modeling approaches to assist coastal planning. As part of a modeling process, this work explores tourists’ perspective of marine ecosystem services, conditions considered in destination choice, and their reaction to changes in seawater quality through a semi structured survey at the municipality of Ubatuba, Sao Paulo, Brazil. The results show that the most perceived ecosystem services are cultural (recreational and aesthetic) and provision (fishery). Also, they identified water quality as the most important aspect of beach selection, which was considered a factor of destination choice. In addition, sewage and solid waste were the most significant factors perceived as responsible for altering seawater quality. The results reinforce the potential of including tourists’ point of view to subsidize the design of socio-ecological modeling approaches. Keywords: Marine Ecosystem Services; Mental Models; Coastal Planning; Tourism Demand; Brazil. |

Aunque el sector turístico está estrechamente relacionado con cuestiones medioambientales, es uno de los menos preparados para hacer frente a los cambios en las condiciones ambientales, especialmente con los cambios climáticos. El seguimiento de la calidad ambiental en destinos costeros consolidados se convierte en fundamental para hacer frente a la complejidad que involucran los ecosistemas marinos y costeros y el aporte turístico. La evaluación de la perspectiva de las partes interesadas de los beneficios que estos ecosistemas proporcionan puede ser un primer paso hacia el uso de enfoques de modelado para ayudar a la planificación costera. Como parte de un proceso de modelado, este trabajo explora la perspectiva de los turistas de los servicios de los ecosistemas marinos, las condiciones consideradas en la elección del destino y su reacción a los cambios en la calidad del agua de mar a través de una encuesta semiestructurada en el municipio de Ubatuba, Sao Paulo, Brasil. Los resultados muestran que los servicios ecosistémicos más percibidos son culturales (recreativos y estéticos) y provisiones (pesca). Además, identificaron la calidad del agua como el aspecto más importante de la selección de la playa, que se consideraba un factor de elección de destino. Además, las aguas residuales y los residuos sólidos fueron los factores más significativos percibidos como responsables de alterar la calidad del agua de mar. Los resultados refuerzan el potencial de incluir el punto de vista de los turistas para subvencionar el diseño de enfoques de modelado socioecológicos.

O monitoramento da qualidade ambiental em destinos costeiros consolidados torna-se fundamental para enfrentar a complexidade que envolve os ecossistemas marinhos e costeiros e seu afluxo turístico. A avaliação da perspectiva das partes interessadas sobre os benefícios que esses ecossistemas fornecem pode ser um primeiro passo para o uso de abordagens de modelagem com a finalidade de auxiliar o planejamento costeiro. Como parte de um processo de modelagem, este trabalho explora a perspectiva dos turistas sobre os serviços ecossistêmicos marinhos, as condições consideradas na escolha do destino, e sua reação às mudanças na qualidade da água do mar, através da aplicação de questionários semiestruturado no município de Ubatuba, São Paulo, Brasil. Os resultados mostram que os serviços ecossistêmicos mais percebidos são culturais (recreativos e estéticos) e de provisão (pesca). Além disso, a qualidade da água foi identificada como o aspecto fundamental na escolha das praias, sendo fator preponderante na escolha do destino a ser visitado. Além disso, esgoto e resíduos sólidos foram os fatores mais significativos percebidos como responsáveis pela alteração da qualidade da água do mar. Os resultados reforçam o potencial de incluir o ponto de vista dos turistas para subsidiar o desenvolvimento de abordagens de modelagem socioecológica.
