Poverty tourism, an approach to its definitions and other realities

Abstract

Understanding that destinations have attractive elements that generate travel motivation, whether they are part of the cultural or natural heritage of the place, what happens when the tourist service provider specially promotes the community as part of the attractive motivator of tourist displacement? Where the community is the object of enjoyment and it is the main attraction not because of its culture and tradition but specifically because of its lifestyle and the situation in which it manages to survive. It is here where part of the question that this document raises arises and which allows an approach to the definitions that support poverty tourism, understood as that tourism that motivates travel and tours in search of knowing the reality of the most isolated regions and with greater degree of inequality.
