Latin America is a complex mosaic of nations, people and landscapes,
with unique cultural, scenic and economic resources but with no more
than 6% of global international tourist arrivals (World Bank, 2019).
The region hosts several top international destinations - such as the
Caribbean islands and the sacred city of the Incas, Machu Picchu
(Peru). Cities like São Paulo and Mexico City are internationally
known for their Meetings Incentives Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE)
sector. Galapagos (Ecuador) and Fernando de Noronha (Brazil) are areas
of significant ecological importance.However, even if some of the
destinations are well known internationally, the region is still seen
as an untouched source for tourism at global and regional scales.
Moreover, the region is still underrepresented in international
tourism literature and content for pedagogical and educational
purposes still limited.This gap needs to be filled, to help inform
tourism developments and to better educate the next generation. This
can help shift students and practitioners away from an over-dependence
on models and ideas developed and tested in different social and
cultural settings that may not be appropriate for a Latin American
context. Therefore, this book aims to bring together researchers,
students, practitioners and other agents involved with research,
teaching and the operation of tourism to share their research and work
experiences in Latin America, in the form of case studies focusing on
real-world examples.
