| Resumo: | This article aimed to analyze community-based tourism (TBC) from the young people perspective from an Afro-Brazilian community located in the Ribeira Valley region, in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. The main research question was: would the TCB be able to encourage young quilombolas to contribute to effective and continuous actions towards both the management of tourism and the conservation of natural and cultural heritage? The main feature of this region is the concentration of remnants of the Atlantic Forest, protected areas, and the strong presence of traditional communities. Tourism is revealed to be a common good (Tourism Commons) due to its community-based management or self-governance. Thus, the theoretical and methodological framework used was Institutional Analysis and Development (Ostrom, 1990). For the analysis of this case study, qualitative and quantitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted with the principal community leaders. The results indicate that tourism offers young Afro-Brazilian the opportunity to stay in their communities, to invest in technical and educational training towards sustainable goals, and to participate in community decision-making processes. The institutional analysis conducted in this study reveals that community management in Ivaporunduva, with the presence and the relevant role of young people, leads to more sustainable tourism, thus contributing to the conservation of the local cultural and natural heritage. |
