The objective of this study is to identify fundamentals associated with sustainable tourism development in areas of the Ecuadorian coast, where environmental impacts caused by tourism activity are inferred, in this sense, it is observed that the tourism management carried out on the beaches of the Ecuadorian coast has negative effects important regarding the organization and equipment that have led to the disorderly and expansive use in these sites. Based on the results of the research, gaps related to the management of sustainable tourism are detected, contributing to the coming conception of a model for tourism management in coastal cantons, which will improve the strategic planning of tourist orientation of the same and the decision making of the local actors involved in the development proposed by the country.
