Ecotourism and Indigenous peoples in the resource frontier of the Ecuadorian Amazon. WESCHE, R. Yearbook.

Paper abstract bibtex Studies of indigenous involvement in Third World ecotourism have focused on tourism impact and highlighted negative effects. This paper examines the implications of the resource frontier context for indigenous participation in Third World ecotourism using a case study of Napo Province in the Ecuadorian Amazon. The transformation of indigenous societies under the impact of resource frontier expansion, insertion into the ecotourism industry and the beginnings of indigenous controlled ecotourism are traced. The advantages of indigenous controlled ecotourism as an appropriate adaptive strategy under resource frontier conditions are demonstrated. Estudios de participación en ecoturismo por pueblos indígenas del Tercer Mundo se han concentrado hasta el momento en los impactos ambientales de turismo y enfatizaron los aspectos negativos. El presente estudio de caso de la Provincia del Napo en Ecuador examina las implicaciones de participación de poblaciones indígenas en ecoturismo en el contexto de una frontera de explotación de recursos naturales. Se trazan la transformación de sociedades indígenas bajo el impacto de la expansión de fronteras de explotación de recursos naturales, la inserción en el ecoturismo, y la génesis de un ecoturismo controlado por los indígenas mismos. Finalmente, el estudio demustra los beneficios de ecoturismo controlado por los pueblos indígenas como una estrategia apropiada para las condiciones de una frontera de explotación de recursos naturales.
