Based on various research projects conducted in recent years in the Maya area of the Yucatán Peninsula (Mexico), this work presents an analysis of the current state of tourism use and management of archaeological resources along the "Ruta de la Guerra de Castas". The research employs an integrative methodology combining qualitative and quantitative tools, such as workshops, focus groups, and interviews with local communities, emphasizing their active and inclusive engagement. This study highlights the importance of coordination among institutions and entities responsible for managing archaeological heritage and emphasizes the role of local population perception and participation as a strength within a tourism management model for the country's archaeological heritage. The main findings underline the need for more democratic governance frameworks that foster collaboration among institutions, communities, and private actors. Community -based models are identified as promoting social cohesion, empowering local populations, and generating solidarity -based economies
