Tourism in Latin America

Abstract

This chapter describes among other things, how the Llanero cultural identity has been forged, since the Jesuits evangelization process. Throughout this paper, it is important to remember the multidimensionality of cultural tourism, in its economic, social and geographical aspects. Similarly, it exposes the way in which culture becomes a unifying element that reduces spatial barriers allowing the rapprochement between the people of the region. Finally, it reflects the link between this modality of tourism to the local development; analyzing the importance of the residents’ participation in heritage preservation at all times.

This chapter will address tourism from an inclusive vision and from an intrinsic estimation of cultural tourism. In order to do that, one must highlight some of the traditional manifestations that allow the preservation of the identity of a culture.
