Percepciones de los residentes, turismo comunitario, Altruismo, Micro-empresarial, guatemalaResumen
Los residentes de San Juan La Laguna y San Pedro La Laguna, dos pueblos vecinos en la cuenca del Lago de Atitlán (Guatemala), han seguido trayectorias de desarrollo turístico muy diferentes a pesar de su proximidad. En este estudio se evalúa la utilidad de la Teoría de Intercambio Social (SET) bajo diferentes modelos económicos. Se realiza un estudio comparativo de casos combinando métodos cualitativos y cuantitativos, a fin de explorar las percepciones de las residentes respecto a las ventajas e inconvenientes derivadas del desarrollo turístico de sus pueblos. Los hallazgos indican que SET puede explicar los intercambios bajo un modelo económico liberal, pero no bajo un modelo comunitario. Los resultados también sugieren que la fuerte colaboración comunitaria guiada por organizaciones gubernamentales y no gubernamentales puede ayudar a mantener los beneficios del turismo en las comunidades de destino, mientras que previene algunos de sus costos.
