Abstract

The relations that bind to diverse types of tourists and to the inhabitants of the visited places have originated a series of cultural characteristics that are, nowadays, subject of study by the anthropolo- gists. However, we cannot to obviate another type of relations that are of great interest for understanding the changes that are taking place because of the tourism: the people’s relations with their environment. The modification of the ecosystems, whose objective is to promote and to facilitate the tourist expansion, it has influenced directly the ways of life of the different receiving communities from the tourism, changing, in addition to its surroundings, the form in that they are related to it. In this paper the study of those questions is approached from the frame of the Ecological Anthropology and its application to the Cultural Tourism.
