    (Instituto Superior Tecnológico Particular Sudamericano, 2025) Calle Álvarez Patricio Alexander; Urgilés Nieto María Gabriela
    The creation and dissemination of a recipe book featuring eight traditional beverages from the province of Azuay stemmed from the observed lack of proper management and preservation of these drinks and their cultural significance. This project aims to revitalize their consumption in the 9 de Octubre market, where these beverages have lost value due to cultural shifts and a lack of knowledge among younger generations. The recipe book will be developed based on our expertise and bibliographic research. The Fundación Turismo para Cuenca will support its dissemination through its website. Additionally, surveys and interviews with vendors will be conducted to educate them about these traditional beverages. A mixed-method approach will be used, incorporating observation, interviews, bibliographic research, and training to ensure positive reception among beneficiaries. Our goal is to create a meaningful impact in the market and ensure that these traditions are not lost over time. Significant support from both the foundation and the market is expected to achieve this purpose. The creation of a traditional beverage recipe book is essential for preserving and revitalizing Azuay’s culinary culture, ensuring that new generations recognize and appreciate their heritage. Promoting these beverages in the 9 de Octubre market not only helps preserve traditions but also strengthens the local economy by increasing demand and recognition of native products. Emphasizing collective action and commitment is crucial to ensuring that Azuay’s traditional beverages not only endure but also thrive in the future. As part of the project, interviews were conducted with the beverage makers through ongoing research and follow-ups. Visits were also made to key supporters of the project, such as the Fundación Turismo para Cuenca and the market director, with official documentation to provide evidence of the project’s progress. The beverages were then prepared following detailed records and technical sheets, followed by surveys conducted among teachers and market vendors to assess their reception. Additionally, the project was socialized within the 9 de Octubre market as part of our objectives. These efforts encapsulate the entire process carried out in this thesis project.
