Abstract The objective of this research is to present the results of the validation of the sustainable management model linked from the Escuela Superior Politécnica Agropecuaria de Manabí "Manuel Félix López" for the tourism development of the communities of Manabí province in Ecuador. The research presents an analysis of the model proposed by Doumet, Mendoza, & Garcia (2017) and integrates other processes proposed by Garcia (2017). To verify the applicability of the model and valídate it, the Delphi method was used, using the procedures performed by Aparicio (2013); Michalus, Sarache, & Hernádez (2015) and Reguant-Álvarez & Torrado-Fonseca (2016) adapting it to the conditions of this research, to select the experts, the Competency Coefficient was evaluated according to the Knowledge or Information Coefficient and the Coefficient of Argumentation for each expert. Eleven indicators were established in the validation instrument of the model and the results showed that the vast majority of the responses in the evaluations are located within the classification: strongly agree or agree and that the indicators of contextualization, applicability, feasibility and integrity of the proposed sustainable management model. The Kendall W-coefficient test was also applied to determine the degree of association between the criteria issued by the experts. The valúes obtained condition the rejection of the nuil hypothesis, so the judgment of the experts is consistent and they agree on the weighting of the calculated indicators, verifying that the consistency between their opinions is strong in relation to the proposed Sustainable Management Model.
