Abstract

One of the most important ecotourism activities worldwide is birding. Mexico has great potential in birds, having more than 10% of species in the world, and its proximity to the United States, the largest emitter of birdwatchers (82,000 birdwatchers). However, this market is largely untapped, partly because of lack of knowledge, training and support both government and private. Baja California Sur has about 434 species. However there are no local companies dedicated to birdwatching. In this sense, the objective was to analyze the tourist potential of birding in Los Cabos, highlighting its features and the development of recommendations for this tourist destination.
