Abstract

This study, the first approach of its kind based on the bibliographic analysis of specialized scientific information on the subject, examines potential opportunities or threats facing ethnotourism worldwide, which should be considered when promoting transfer activities, technology appropriation or innovation, because they will be constituted either in vectors of change or in elements to overcome. Debates on the theme would be important for micro y small ethnic organizations to be competitive, achieving systemic changes with equity y social justice.
