Género, turismo y exportación: ¿llamando a la plata en el Perú?

Jane Henrici

Abstract: El siguiente artículo es una descripción breve del caso de algunas mujeres de la región de Cusco, en Perú, involucradas en la producción o en la venta de objetos étnicos para el mercado turístico y para la exportación. El análisis muestra que, mientras que en su discurso sobre el turismo y el comercio los actores enfatizan la equivalencia y el intercambio cultural, en la práctica la participación en estos circuitos tiende a reforzar las desigualdades existentes, tanto económicas como políticas.

Despite the rich and diverse tradition of research on the gender dimensions of tourism, such studies have had little impact on transforming unequal gendered power relations in the sector itself. In this paper, we are concerned with why this is the case and what steps might be taken to redress this situation. The paper argues that the challenges inherent in gender mainstreaming processes within public policies worldwide are replicated and À to some extent À exacerbated in the tourism sector. We contend that, despite its substantive insight into the sector, the impact of such literature has been minimal. We further suggest that this is, in part, due to the sustainable tourism paradigm's resistance to incorporating gender equality and gender analysis as core principles. In order to develop these arguments, we reflect on our experiences as specialist consultants in gender and sustainable tourism, drawing out some of the key tensions of integrating gender into sustainable tourism projects. In conclusion, we argue that there is substantive work to be done for gender to be integrated into the theory and practice of sustainable tourism, offering recommendations as to how this process might be improved.

Resumen. El presente texto tiene como objetivo explorar el papel de las relaciones de género en el control y uso de un terreno comunal en una comunidad campesina de los Andes peruanos. El contexto general es el turismo y el más reciente proceso de privatización de tierras que, si bien empezó años atrás, se vio acelerado recientemente por el proyecto de construcción de un aeropuerto internacional en las cercanías de la comunidad. Veremos cómo el surgimiento de un atractivo turístico (El Mirador) y la consecuente formación de una asociación artesanal han afectado las relaciones de género locales y la participación política de las mujeres. Palabras clave: Género; turismo; tierras comunales; infraestructuras; titulación de tierras; agencia; Andes peruanos.[en] "The awakened women": The role of gender in the control of a communal land in the Peruvian Andes Abstract. This article aims to explore the role of gender relations in the control and use of communal land in a peasant village located in the Peruvian Andes. The context is the current process of acquiring land private deeds, which even though began several years ago, in the region, has been speeded-up by the current plans to build an international airport closed to the village. We will discuss how the emergence of a tourist attraction (El Mirador) and the consequent formation of a female handicraft association has affected the gender configurations of the village and helped to raise women's political participation.
