Description
Summary:The world is being hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. The economy and tourism sectors are collapsing, and the people's way of life is undergoing great changes. At this moment, it becomes even more urgent that they listen the indigenous peoples demands - given that they have been suffering for a long time the onslaught of globalization and the coloniality of power as the permanent structure of the civilising process of modernity. The history of indigenous tourism is linked to the struggles of the peoples for liberation, both in the colonial era and in the subsequent stages of economic conquest by world capitalism. In the long history of struggle and domination that precedes the start and subsequent development of tourism among indigenous peoples, people must add the recent process of touristification. As part of this process, traditional 'ancestral' cultural communities, some of them recognised by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites, become part of an 'authenticity economy.'
