Summary

Quebrada de Humahuaca, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Argentina's Jujuy province, has seen rapid tourism growth post-2001 economic collapse, positioning it as a vital income generator for local economies. Claudia Troncoso's book, Turismo y Patrimonio en la Quebrada de Humahuaca, examines how heritage and globalization shape tourist destinations, highlighting disparities where some spaces are commoditized while others are marginalized. The study reveals that tourism growth, driven by government agendas since the 20th century, often imposes a new identity on local stakeholders, altering their behavior to align with heritage narratives. Troncoso's research combines primary and secondary sources—including documents from tourism organizations, statistics, journals, and interviews conducted between 2007–2009—to analyze these dynamics. The book’s seven chapters explore the consequences of tourism on local communities, focusing on how heritage constructs place attractiveness while overlooking others.
