Current state of knowledge regarding the roll of indigenous women in Latin America's tourism industry

During the second decade of the XXI century, research relating tourism and indigenous women in Latin America has just started its initial academic production. We arrived at this conclusion after a careful analysis and consideration of the available publications from the period 2010-2020 in four different academic digital platforms. Articles were catalogued by context, subject and publication date. Findings highlight that fourteen compared documents have similarities in the theoretical approach with a gender perspective, in the qualitative methodological approaches and in the following units of analysis: autonomy, empowerment, poverty, sociocultural relations derived from their interactions and job mobility. From this, we can create a starting point to base further research on the roll of indigenous women in Latin America's tourism industry.
