Turismo comunitario y empresas de base comunitaria turísticas: ¿estamos hablando de lo mismo? (Ensayo)

Main Article Content

María José Fernández Aldecua

Resumen

El objetivo del documento es analizar teóricamente los constructos turismo de base
comunitaria y empresa de base comunitaria. En primera instancia, se busca determinar
la relación de ambos constructos con el desarrollo sustentable, así como su carácter
limitado y localista. También se analizan los procesos complejos implícitos en el turismo
de base comunitaria: la participación comunitaria, el empoderamiento, la colaboración y
el capital social. Se aporta una definición de empresa de base comunitaria y se determina
su vínculo con el turismo comunitario. El documento plantea algunas interrogantes cuyo
objetivo es abrir una discusión académica en torno al marco teórico que rodea estos
conceptos.
