Abstract

Cruise tourism is associated with an exogenous practice to the territory; however, it is in a space laden with social and cultural connotations. The decision to choose this type of activity is made considering a set of elements beyond the ship’s characteristics. The territories concerned must have several conditions that are favorable to their competitiveness associated with the presence of natural and cultural resources that make up the provision of potential visitation sites and the provision of services. These factors are part of the territorial competences that the destinations possess and can act as elements to be inserted into cruise tourism. Puerto Deseado and Camarones, two ports of Patagonia argentina, have shown interest in this activity by raising the question of the territorial competences they have for the development of cruise tourism. The work opted for a qualitative approach supported by quantitative techniques developed during the season 2017/2018, consisted of survey and analysis of different territorial components complemented by the opinion of key informants. The results reflect the potential of both cities in terms of visitation sites and tourist plant. While they have a set of territorial components that would position them competitively, they also must be strengthened.
