Resumo
Researchers have been debating the effects of tourism on indigenous cultures, which can generate positive effects as economic development opportunity, improvement in quality of life and job, or negative effects as the destruction of culture and environmental degradation. In this matter, the objective of this research is to analyze the influence of tourism on local sustainable development of the indigenous communities of the Indigenous Reserve San Marcos. We interviewed 40 indigenous people of the reserve that were involved with tourism. The interviews were conducted using a structured script and then analyzed using content analysis. As a result, it was found that tourism is organized and coordinated by themselves without any support from FUNAI or any other governmental agency. Tourism provided an increase in the income of residents as well as new jobs. According to them, the incipient infrastructure and lack of regulation of tourism on indigenous land are considered the main obstacles to the growth of activity. Despite the challenges faced, indigenous people understand that tourism has contributed to the development of local communities.
