Community-based tourism is advocated by indigenous organizations and leftist actors throughout Latin America as a tool for furthering their political and cultural agenda. The ideological biases and structural weaknesses of this model become apparent in a case study of the fishing village of Prainha do Canto Verde, Brazil. The communitarian agenda currently being implemented by means of the community-based tourism project in Prainha is based upon an ideological construct and being imposed through political engineering upon what is simply a local segment of Brazilian rural society. As a result, it is encountering strong resistance. There is also structural tension between the inevitable sociocultural change caused by the development of tourism and the rigidity and essentialism of a community-based tourism model offering a "traditional way of life" as a touristic product. The model is ultimately conflictual and unstable, and there is serious doubt about its long-term sustainability. Organizações indígenas e instituições de esquerda defendem o turismo comunitário na América Latina como forma de apoio às suas agendas políticas e culturais. Contudo, a fragilidade estrutural e o preconceito ideológico desse modelo tornam-se aparente no caso de uma vila de pesca em Prainha do Canto Verde, no Brasil. A agenda comunitária hoje implementada por meio do projeto de turismo comunitário em Prainha baseia-se em construção ideológica e é imposta por meio de engenharia política do que consiste somente de um segmento local da sociedade rural brasileira. Consequentemente, essa agenda encontra forte resistência. Demais, há tensão estrutural entre as mudanças culturais inevitáveis, causadas pelo desenvolvimento do turismo, e a rigidez e essencialismo do modelo de turismo comunitário que oferece "um estilo de vida tradicional" como produto turístico. O modelo é fundamentalmente conflitante e instável, suscitando dúvidas quanto à sua sustentabilidade a longo prazo
