The purpose of this article is to present a multi-criteria model designed to evaluate the potential of Sincelejo’s cultural identity in tourism development. A descriptive quantitative methodology was used, which included a survey of 211 participants. A decision support method was applied using the weighted additive sum approach and following the multi-attribute method. From the information gathered, the elements of cultural identity shared by most of the criteria were identified, highlighting the gastronomic, social, and cultural traditions and customs of the region, the results of which allowed a composite indicator to be designed to evaluate the tourism potential of cultural identity in the area. This indicator takes into account the idea that the authenticity and cultural uniqueness of a city or region can be a key factor in attracting tourists and providing them with enriching and memorable experiences, promoting the preservation of cultural heritage, environmental protection, and improvement in the quality of life of residents in the search for sustainable tourism development.

El desarrollo económico y social de las naciones en busca de una mejor calidad de vida para sus habitantes ha sido una preocupación constante no solo de cada Estado o gobierno en particular, sino de los organismos multilaterales en general, preocupados por la migración creciente en los últimos años. La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar el plan de desarrollo económico y social de Venezuela para los periodos 2000 al 2019, medido en términos del Índice de Desarrollo Humano expuesto por el Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo y el movimiento migratorio realizado durante el mismo periodo en América Latina. La investigación tiene un enfoque cualitativo, el diseño es bibliográfico documental y la técnica utilizada es la hermenéutica dado que se realizan búsquedas científicas de la información para lograr comprender y explicar el fenómeno de estudio. Finalmente, se concluye que la migración venezolana ha causado variaciones en el desarrollo económico y social de los países receptores, según el estudio del Índice de Desarrollo Humano en términos del conocimiento y talento humano que conforman las instituciones universitarias, el cual refleja una reducción para Venezuela en más de un 50%, producto de la renuncia de docentes preparados académicamente que han decidido migrar a otros países tales como Colombia y Perú.

Introduction: Within the framework of Law 21.151 of 2019 from the Ministry of Social Development, which granted legal recognition to the Afro-Chilean tribal people, an elective course is offered at a public university to implement Article 4, which promotes the teaching of the history, language, and culture of Afro-descendants in the country at all school levels. Objective: To develop a pedagogical strategy that promotes inclusion, interculturality, and the historical memory of the Afro-Chilean people. Methods: Using inductive coding methodology and the systematic presentation of frequencies in eight semi-structured interviews, 13 accessible narratives or multimodal stories (picture stories and audiobooks) and 44 significant statements were produced. Results: The analysis of the childhood experiences of eight Afro-Chilean women led to the production of a series of multimodal narratives that promote respect for the identity and human rights of the Afro-Chilean population. Three categories emerged: Afro-descendant identity (53%), racism and exclusion (29%), and agency and resistance (18%). The findings underscore the identity recognition and cultural pride of Afro-Chilean women, which are strained by discrimination and balanced by strategies of leadership and resilience. Conclusions: Multimodal narratives re-historicize silenced memories, promote anti-racist and intersectional pedagogical practices, and foster symbolic reparations within the framework of human rights. Therefore, it is recommended that multimodal narratives be integrated into higher education and that access be expanded through Chilean Sign Language interpretation.
