Turismo de base comunitária (TBC) em localidades indígenas: aos olhos de pesquisadores e consultores

Abstract

Community-based tourism (CBT) has stood out as an approach that promotes environmental, cultural, and economic preservation, especially in segregated communities, such as Indigenous ones. This study aims to analyze practices and strategies that contribute to tourism entrepreneurship in these communities, respecting their local and cultural specificities. The research adopts a qualitative methodology, with data collection carried out through interviews with consultants, entrepreneurs, and researchers in the field. The results highlight barriers such as poor infrastructure, limited market access, and generic methodologies, but also emphasize solutions such as training, digital marketing, and cultural itineraries based on local narratives. The conclusion is that CBT can be a powerful tool for strengthening cultural identity and promoting sustainable territorial development, as long as it respects the particularities of each community and values their traditional knowledge.
