This discussion centers on the limitations and opportunities of green tourism for Latin America.This reflects the past experience with CICATUR as well as the next guidelines towards a sustainable tourism.Basically, this situates as sometime else than a simple review of already-existent studies and literature. Rather it focuses on a critical discussion on the role of development in generating centre-periphery dependence. While the current problems of ecology seems to equal nations in the same level, no less true is that richer nations tend to impose their own discourse respecting to their right to contaminate further than pour nations. Doubtless, the problem of climate change is far from being solved and in this work we explain the reasons behind. As one of the largest ecological reservoirs of humankind, Latin America has much to say in this issue.
