Abstract
[Resumen] El Mercado Central de San José, Costa Rica representa parte del patrimonio histórico y cultural
del país, en este sitio la afluencia de turistas se distribuye entre los locales de alimentos y bebidas
y los locales dedicados a la venta de artesanías. El presente estudio identifica las problemáticas
relacionadas a la comercialización de las artesanías. La metodología utilizada es cualitativa de
carácter descriptivo, donde los datos fueron recolectados in situ a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas
a locatarios. Los resultados muestran una falta de capacitación en un segundo
idioma, una poca valorización del trabajo artesanal, así como situaciones de regateo por parte
de turistas.
[Abstract] The San José Central Market is an important symbol of Costa Rica’s historical and cultural heritage. The market contains hundreds of shops and stalls selling food and drink, and local arts and crafts. This study examines the problems associated with the commercialization of arts and crafts for tourist visitors. A descriptive qualitative approach was used to collect data in situ through semi-structured interviews with craft stand and shop owners. The problems identified by the study included: lack of knowledge of a second language; low value placed on arts and crafts items for sale; and price haggling by tourists.
