The study case is Jingmai Mountain, Yunnan—a tea-forest cultural landscape maintained by the Blang and Dai communities in southwestern China.

Ready for Communitarian Tourism? ‘Visiting’ Indigenous People in Colombia, South America
This research note reports ongoing work pertaining to tourism development in an indigenous community in Colombia, South America. The goal is to present the community, their tourist resources and assess the community’s degree of readiness towards the development process while, at the same time, discussing and applying a tool to measure the different dimensions of community‐based tourism. The results are disparate, in the sense that some dimensions…

The focus is on Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, with other Hispanic colonial cities also included in…
Mantener las murallas o demolerlas? Urbanismo y disputas sociales en Cartagena, Colombia y San Juan, Puerto Rico (1880–1920)
This article is the result of research on two 'planning anomalies' in Latin America: The preservation of the city walls of Cartagena de Indias, Colombia and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Although both defensive systems are tourist icons nowadays, behind their retention lays a long history of contestation. Planning, spatial and socio-economic issues are considered in the article, which deems these processes unique and idiosyncratic, for the norm througho…
