This research emphasizes the significance of the Galapagos Islands as a unique tourist destination with exceptional biodiversity and valuable natural heritage for adult tourists. It explores how adventurous tourists of different ages, particularly older adults, have become a crucial source of economic income and a catalyst for the development of local communities. The study also discusses the importance of implementing sustainable tourism practices to protect fragile ecosystems and the islands’ endemic biodiversity. It also addresses challenges such as the introduction of alien species, the impact of increasing tourism demand on resources and infrastructure, and the crucial need for a balance between economic development and environmental conservation. The research examines how sustainable tourism has significantly benefitted local communities, not only in terms of employment generation but also in promoting environmental awareness and community participation, instilling hope and optimism for a sustainable, prosperous future. The research concludes by emphasizing the need for a holistic and adaptive approach to ensure that the Galapagos Islands remain a model of sustainable tourism, protecting its natural heritage and ensuring a sustainable, prosperous future for its inhabitants and adult tourists.

Higher education through virtual environments is centered on the student, oriented towards interactive learning, in situations that are close to the real world, for which teachers require new communicative, non-verbal skills and an innovative approach to learning, which will accompany their students. Students in the complex process of acquiring even more knowledge of a non-native language. In the same context, the use of open-source technology platforms is becoming the best way to deliver solutions that meet the current need for the process of acquiring an ancestral language, so in this document we will focus on the analysis and use of Cloud Computing Tools as an alternative to complementary material to improve writing skills in the process of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) in our case Shuar Chicham. Likewise, teachers should not focus only on online learning but also on interaction with students as Gibson (1993) states; thus, innovative technologies must be means that help reduce the digital technological gap, allowing solutions, answers and agile questions to be given within the teaching-learning process, which is visible with the use of cloud computing tools. Therefore, using cloud computing tools it was proposed to demonstrate if writing skills can be improved in students who learned Shuar Chicham basic.

This quasi-experimental study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of collaborative teaching strategies mediated by digital technologies among online university students. The research was conducted with a sample of 256 participants, divided into an experimental group and a control group. While both groups used technological resources, only the experimental group engaged in structured collaborative strategies using tools such as Genially, Kahoot, Canva, Padlet, and Wordwall, within the framework of the Cátedra Integradora course. The results revealed a significant improvement in the academic performance of the experimental group, with an average increase of 27.4%, compared to 13.2% in the control group. Furthermore, the teacher's perception highlighted higher levels of student engagement, motivation, and collaboration among those who actively participated in the strategies. These findings demonstrate that the intentional use of educational technologies with a collaborative focus fosters active, participatory, and meaningful learning, while also strengthening socio-emotional skills and improving academic achievement in virtual higher education settings. © 2025 IEEE.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a key driver of innovation in the gastronomic tourism industry, significantly transforming traveler experiences and optimizing business operations. In customer service, AIpowered tools such as chatbots, virtual assistants, and intelligent video call systems-fueled by Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning-offer fast, accurate, and tailored responses that enhance user satisfaction and reduce wait times. From a security and risk management perspective, AI enhances surveillance systems at gastronomic destinations by analyzing real-time data from sensors and cameras. This capability supports early threat detection, the identification of suspicious behaviors, and the implementation of preventive measures, ensuring safer environments for tourists. Moreover, AI enables hyperpersonalized travel experiences through the analysis of large datasets. Predictive analytics and advanced market segmentation allow businesses to provide highly targeted culinary recommendations based on travelers' preferences and behavioral patterns. This strengthens customer loyalty and competitive differentiation. AI not only streamlines operational efficiency within gastronomic tourism but also elevates the quality, personalization, and safety of the services provided. As its adoption continues to grow, AI represents a strategic opportunity to enhance sustainability and innovation in the sector, positioning itself as a cornerstone of modern tourism development. © 2025 IEEE.

In the educational context, virtual inclusion faces significant technological, pedagogical, and sociocultural barriers. These include limited digital connectivity, lack of access to technological devices, insufficient inclusive pedagogical strategies among educators, and disparities rooted in ethnicity, gender, language, social class, culture, and disability—factors especially prevalent in marginalized areas. As a result, access to virtual distance education remains limited for many students. This study aims to identify the primary barriers affecting accessibility and usability in digital inclusion. The study employed a qualitative methodology based on a literature review of academic research published between 2020 and 2025. Selection criteria included relevance, coherence, and quality of information, drawing from academic databases such as IEEE Xplore, ACM Library, Springer, SciELO, and ERIC. The findings reveal several recurring barriers: technological inequality, low digital literacy and usability, limited integration of the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in virtual pedagogy, and insufficient teacher training in inclusive strategies for online learning. However, the literature also highlights key opportunities, such as the expansion of virtual education, the use of assistive technologies, personalized learning, improved access in geographically isolated regions, and the implementation of inclusive educational policies. This analysis underscores that achieving full virtual inclusion requires an integrated approach—one that combines digital innovation, continuous teacher training, and public policies that ensure equitable access and equal opportunities for all students, regardless of their diverse backgrounds
