Educational and cultural tourism has become a growing activity lately. It allows us to join pleasure with the experience of knowing different cultures and exercising our citizenship rights. Samba schools, which are much more than just a beautiful plastic-musical spectacle, represent the history of resistance of the Brazilian people against exclusion and stereotypes. In addition, due to their aesthetic beauty and cultural power, samba schools are a valuable cultural asset. Therefore, there should be a part- nership between samba schools and the sector of educational tourism in order to foster the promotion and economic and social emancipation of the communities that, for several decades, have been creating ‘the most beautiful popular spectacle of the world’. However, the majority of these communities are not allowed to have access to the wealth that is created by them.
