This level of digitization has allowed the company to promote and publicize its services through the website haciendavenecia.com, as well as interact with interest groups related to coffee in other parts of the world and Colombia. In addition, this knowledge has led to tourism services in the back and front office being digitized and having their own platforms for commercial management and distribution of the experience and its products. Also, the Hacienda has specific applications designed to be used by the community or related projects. It should also be noted that partnerships have been negotiated for the export of retail products through Amazon.

Even so, the members usually prefer to use mobile phones due to their greater ease of use.

Email is used for business management, as well as the Sinpe Móvil service to receive payments. In terms of internal communication, even though not all the women have a mobile phone, WhatsApp has become a key tool for communication.

The families of the Maleku community have created a variety of tourist services that reflects their community spirit.

Regarding business management, email is used to keep up to date with events such as talks and fairs, among others and, as in other experiences, Sinpe Móvil is used to receive electronic payments.

Regarding the use of social networks, theLos Hijos del Bosqueis aimed at sharing photos of the experience, while WhatsApp is used as a tool to answer questions and send the location of the farm.

The leaders of the experience have knowledge in the use of mobile phones, but only the children of the family know how to use a computer, so they are the ones who manage social networks, share photos and respond to messages from tourists.

The ecotourism activities carried out by the community consist of different excursions, which have been designed for visitors to get to know the ecosystem of the community in the Ciénaga de Zapata region.

Ecotourism services in the community are promoted mainly through tour operators and national agencies. However, restaurants in the area use WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram to promote their services, typical dishes and activities. These businesses often share the experiences of tourists and customer opinions, while social networks are usually managed by business owners or family members through their mobile phones. An example of ecotourism activities in the area that has a Facebook page is Casa Ana, Birding endemic.

In terms of business promotion, owners of private hire cars also use WhatsApp and Facebook to publicize their services and provide information about the vehicles.

With the support of the local government, a product called "Fiesta campesina" has recently been added to the tourist offer, the main objective of which is to promote the cultural traditions of the rural area. The product consists of a Guateque (party celebrated with dance, music, food and revelry), which begins after a typical dinner served at sunset.

The municipal government promotes the El Encanto route through local radio, press and television programmes. Young people from the area have also produced videos that present the experience together with local attractions. In addition, the GAD aims to develop an app with information on tourist sites in the area, which would include this route.

The main technological tools used for promoting the experience are mobile phones and social networks such as Facebook and Instagram. In terms of marketing, the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAG), together with the Conservation International Foundation, have developed an app called Fresco y Natural, which is used for the direct sale of products from the farm. Also, five farms have created a group called Acá, an alliance that markets organic products to local consumers, who can place their orders using Google Sheets.

With the aim of strengthening and diversifying the digital resources of the experience, the participants in the Farms and Artisans Workshops have received training in marketing and sales, with the support of the Ministry of Tourism, during which they have been able to learn about different examples of digital tools, such as the digital payments system "Hagámoslo Fácil".

With the support of the ENGIM Foundation, the three associations have updated web pages and use social networks such as Facebook and Instagram. The Facebook page is Corporación de Asociaciones de la Chakra Amazónica.

The corporation offers services related to indigenous communities. Among these are lodging, food, transportation, traditional rituals, excursions to archaeological sites and forests, and tours to the Chimborazo Wildlife Reserve.

The organization has a Facebook page with images of the experience, which provides information about the services. This account is Cordtuch - Turismo Comunitario de Chimborazo.

The festival has an out-dated Facebook page, and there are no other social networks or web pages where information about this activity can be found. However, the popularity of the event has been increasing mainly thanks to word of mouth, and also through the comments it has received on Tripadvisor. Another tool used to promote the festival is the coverage provided by different media outlets.

Once the tour is complete, tourists can go to the gift store to buy chocolate and other cocoa products. There are also outdoor spaces to rest and relax.

The factory's website,www.jouvaychocolate.com, provides photos of the experience, and information about the products and services offered, as well as the possibility of direct purchases. This is the main promotional tool, since there is no official presence on social networks. WhatsApp is mainly used for internal communication between the members of the factory.

In addition to visiting the waterfalls, tourists will find a souvenir shop at each access point where it is possible to purchase local spices, herbs, artwork, soft drinks, and other products. In addition, agreements have been established with tour operators, which offer a welcome drink at the falls.

The community has access to the Internet via satellite and, due to the significant number of young people, many members use mobile phones. Even so, the community does not use social networks for the promotion or sale of its products, nor for internal communication, which is mostly carried out through SMS. Due to this context, young people are interested in receiving training to use digital tools that can allow effective use of social networks, as well as to improve the conditions for promoting tourism activities

Most of the businesses on the route have been using social networks for 10 years to promote their services. Regarding accommodation services, Online Travel Agencies (OTAs), such as Booking.com, Expedia.com, and Airbnb, are increasingly used to manage reservations.

All the entrepreneurs have at least one or two smartphones, and in some cases, they also have tablets or computers. The use of WhatsApp and mobile phones to coordinate business logistics is common among the participants of the experience. In some cases, laptops and basic business accounting and billing programmes are also used.

In the case of tour guides, several of them have specialized bird watching applications, as well as georeferencing. Reservations for accommodation and restaurants are managed on the website. However, due to lack of funds, the website, Twitter account and Facebook page (created in 2017) have not been updated.

In order to promote the adoption of digital tools by micro, small and medium-sized companies, the Mayor's Office, in partnership with the Department of Digital Economy of the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and MSMEs, held an open day called “Mi Municipio Digital” (My Digital Municipality).

The farm has a diverse range of products and services, such as fruit harvesting, in which tourists can take home what they harvest; the gastronomic experience, where tourists enjoy a meal prepared with ingredients collected from the farm; educational tours related to beekeeping, and heritage trails near the farm.

In terms of promoting the farm's products and services, the main digital tools used are the social networks Facebook and Instagram. However, community members consider that a website would be a useful tool, as it would allow them to better promote their business, and more effectively manage reservations and contact interested tourists. Community members have access to smartphones as well as computers, although some of these devices do not have enough internal memory to play and store videos, images, or other items useful for business promotion.

The festival offers seafood prepared with vegetables, as well as drinks. The seafood comes from the fishermen in the local community, while the vegetables are donated by the participants.

The experience is directly linked to fishermen and offers fresh seafood and fish to individuals, supermarkets and other businesses that prepare dishes with these seafood products. The atmosphere of the place is festive, and it has music and drinks for sale. In addition to the restaurants that are in the area, it is possible to eat grilled fish and other seafood cooked by street vendors, who have different ways of preparing the dishes.

In terms of promotion, the different businesses use Facebook to publicize their products and services, while the restaurants have websites. The complex also has an email address for questions and concerns: [email protected] .

The experience has Internet service, which is used for the security system, and by the complex's main office for issues related to business management and staff activities. The manager uses WhatsApp to share information about the products available in the complex, which allows constant communication between members.

The market's offering is varied, but it is specialized in the sale of fresh fruit and vegetables, agro products, confectionery, and traditional dishes. The product offering is similar in the Agri Night Market, but the services are extended to help farmers and fishermen increase their sales.

The Ministry of Agriculture is in charge of the digitization of the experience, which uses social media platforms, mainly Facebook and Instagram. These digital resources are used to encourage people to participate in the Agri Night Market, as well as to share videos and images of the events that take place in the market. Business members mostly use smartphones, with WhatsApp used for internal communication, as well as to promote products and send promotional videos to their contacts.

The Páramo Merideño agrotourism tour offers visitors activities such as horseback riding, hiking, overnight excursions in the countryside, trout fishing, and viewing of flora and fauna, as well as mountain climbing.

In addition, those seeking to experience the tranquillity and calm of the countryside can take part in activities typical of rural areas, such as milking, planting, harvesting and the preparation of gastronomic and artisanal products.

In terms of culture and religion, participation in activities specific to this region are offered, including the festival of San Isidro to give thanks for a good harvest, the making of mangers at Christmas time, and the Easter festivities, among others.

Due to factors such as the rugged terrain and low population density, among others, digital connectivity in the area is deficient. However, the need for connection has led some families with financial resources to seek connectivity solutions with advanced technologies, using private, national or foreign services (connection from Colombia). This has made it possible for some families and companies in the area to have access to social networks such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, allowing them to keep up to date with the supply and demand of products and services in agricultural and tourism activities.

The products offered are based on the coastal landscapes and environmental services of the mountainous region; the production processes of agricultural items linked to cocoa; the cultural sector including religious festivals, and local gastronomy, including the resources used by entrepreneurs in the area to highlight its gastronomic potential. The hub includes a network of inns, restaurants, and entrepreneurs specializing in fish soups, chicken, desserts, and other dishes influenced by the fusion of indigenous, Spanish, French, and Corsican products.

The agro-tourism hub is just beginning its journey in digital marketing. Currently, members of the community, especially young people, are seeking to increase the promotion of their products through social networks and other media. In this regard, partnerships have been established with four digital tour operators in the region: Turismosucre, Carupanoyparia, Venezuelaverde and Venezuelaturistica. In addition, the company CANTV, through the National Telecommunications Commission of Venezuela (CONATEL), is carrying out work to extend Internet connectivity throughout the municipality of Arismendi. At this time, the project is in the fibre optic installation phase, which is expected to be completed in three to five years.

Around 35 percent of the participants in the experience use computers, approximately 90 percent of which are low-end devices donated by the government from 2007 to 2014 as part of a plan called Canaima va a la escuela (Canaima goes to school). The low percentage of access to computers is similar to the access to smartphones, which means that more than 30 percent of participants do not use social networks to promote their businesses.
