| Abstract | In 1988, in response to the deteriorating state of its natural resources, the Los Tuxtlas Bios- phere Reserve (LTBR) is established in the Mexican state of Veracruz. Included within park bounda- ries are municipalities characterized by a high poverty rate and whose residents, due to restrictions placed on their traditional farming activities, have had to immigrate to the United States. At the same time, the biosphere reserve's natural wealth has inspired environmentally friendly ecotourism initia- tives. The purpose of our research was to analyze the relationship between migration and ecotourism in three communities located within park boundaries. We found that private and community-operated ecotourism businesses can provide inhabitants with adequate employment which in turn strengthens their ties to the community and reduces the need for them to emigrate away for financial reasons. |
