Las comunidades rurales frente al turismo en el noroeste de Córdoba (Argentina)

Abstract

This paper proposes to analyse the insipient links between the development of tourism and the rural population in the northwest of Córdoba. It is argued that, based on a knowledge of the cultural practices of peasant families rooted in the territory, it is possible to consider this activity as a complementary source of income (counter-harvesting) and beneficial for the communities as long as it is supported by the construction of community ties with the logic of cultural conservation and care for the native forest.
