Resumen
SUAREZ GTZ., Gloria Mariel et al. Is Ecotourism a Solution or Part of the Problem of the Care Economy?. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.68, pp.57-85. Epub 25-Mar-2022. ISSN 2448-6183. https://doi.org/10.22136/est20221726.
In this research two ecotourism centers in Chiapas (Selva Lacandona and Soconusco region) were studied. The effect of ecotourism in indigenous communities from the perspective of gender and care economy was addressed with emphasis in its reproductive and productive dimensions. Case study approach, participant observation, interviews and field journal were used. The conclusions reveal differential work performed by men and women, showing the prevailing sociocultural patterns that replicate the hegemonic gender roles. Moreover, ecotourism does not contribute to equitable distribution, making care work of women not valuable and invisible in productive and reproductive activities.
