Based on long-term and local-level ethnographic research, this chapter examines post-conflict tourism in Peru and Nicaragua. It analyses the ways in which both countries attempted to shield visitors from the recent past of conflict, violence and even revolution, and turned instead to cultivating cultural and heritage tourism, as well as other forms of tourism considered safe for tourist consumption. The chapter documents how both countries rebranded themselves as safe and healthy places for travel and advanced plans to bring back tourism after political conflict. It is then argued that when nations are undergoing periods of conflict and instability, tourists might best seek alternative ways to stand in solidarity, as has been true for the countries studied and for others in Latin America. |
