Tourism and Development in the Quilombola Community of Engenho II in Goiás, Brazil
Abstract
The article aims to discuss tourism in the remaining quilombo community of Engenho II located in the municipality of Cavalcante in the state of Goiás. They are black communities that recall a period of slavery, social and economic subjection. That’s began to have visibility from the 1990s. Tourism emerges as an instrument for ethnodevelopment and local development. The methodological procedures were readings of theses and dissertations, qualitative research and mapping. The study points out that Engenho II is a place-territory in which tourism introduced by external agents mainly values local nature with visits to waterfalls, neglects ethnodevelopment, increases social and economic inequalities and creates the empowerment of the Kalunga woman.
