The article refers to the Venezuelan experience to put in execution the first tourist program of inns in the rural area. Splits of the criterion that the cultural tourism begins to be successful once the community of reception participates in the same process of its development as community. Once it becomes aware of its rights and obligations; and manages to consolidate its self-esteem and its own iden- tity, then the family groups is able to participate in the ritual that supposes the interpersonal relations, with the tourist, without fear that be wounded its habitat in an integral sense. Without this first step, any intent of a fragile community to participate in the “tourism packages”, would be able more well to be object of a simple commercial play that knock down them.
