- Power, altruism and communitarian tourism: A comparative study Chantell La Pan Duarte B Morais Carla Barbieri Tim Wallace Estudios de Turismo Micro Power Altruism Guatemala entrepreneurship Residents of San Juan La Laguna and San Pedro La Laguna, neighboring towns on the shores of Lake Atitlán, Guatemala, have followed very different trajectories of tourism development despite their close proximity. This study explores residents’ perceptions of the benefits and drawbacks of tourism development under two differing economic models and addresses weaknesses in current theoretical approaches. Findings from this ethnographic comparative case study indicate that prevailing theoretical constructs do not fully explain dynamics in non-western non- laissez faire capitalist contexts. Findings also suggest that strong community collaboration guided by governmental and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) can help to maintain tourism benefits locally, while at the same time preventing some of the costs of tourism development in destination communities. 2016 artículo científico 1695-7121 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=88146706008 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=881 PASOS.
