Abstract

Latin America has always dazzled travelers. Conquistadors, missionaries, courtiers, merchants, smugglers, adventurers, chroniclers and scientists have always been enchanted by its natural wonders and its aboriginal cultures. A rich culture and history shaped the challenges and conquers of Latin America. In this chapter we described and analyzed contributed to social and local economic difficulties and, consequently, difficulties for tourism. We should reflect on the fact that tourism does not develop satisfactorily in the macro-region because it suffers the negative effects of poor public management, poverty and a lack of formal education in the population. The authors believe that a different type of tourism will only be possible in a more participative society. Capital and knowledge are important in building that society, but reassigning value to humanism is essential for life to be preserved and dignified.
