Tourism, development, and Guarani communities in Argentina
by Penny Seymoure
Interdisciplinary Environmental Review (IER), Vol. 10, No. 3/4, 2009

Abstract: In Argentina, Mbya Guarani ethnic people live in an area near the Cataratas del Iguazu that is being rapidly developed for tourist use. While tourism has brought needed income to some Mbya communities, there have been concurrent changes in culture and physical and psychological health. This paper examines concerns about how governmental policy makers have developed tourism on Mbya lands, and suggest goals that stakeholders should achieve in their plans for sustainable development. Finally, programs of sustainable tourism must include the indigenous participation at all levels of planning and implementation, a practice seldom followed in the case of the Mbya.
