Sustainable tourism and mayan communities in resistance to the north of Quintana Roo: An intercultural reflection

Abstract

The opening of the free market as part of the model constituted by liberal policies has transformed the identity and the culture of society. In this sense, the coastal areas of the Mexican southeast have been covered with private tourism services companies, which has allowed to generate new lines of investigation around the impact of tourism in Mayan communities. The problematic raised is subject to the massification of some tourist destinations, which has brought a perspective of vulnerability in Mayan communities of Quintana Roo. In this context, a reflection based on interculturality is presented in areas of conflict.
