This study provides a long-term, ethnographic assessment of the development, management, and decline of communitarian tourism in the rural Peruvian indigenous community of Taquile Island, focusing on relations between hosts and outsider brokers/mediators. To date, relationships with outsider tour operators and guides have generally been acrimonious due to competition over control of transportation and the type of tourism outsiders have promoted. Nonetheless, Taquile’s initiative was at first successful because of help from a hitherto unresearched group of individual foreigners. The study points to the need for further investigation of the potential impact of this type of broker/mediator, particularly vis-à-vis public-sector investment and development.RésuméTourisme communautarien: hôtes et médiateurs au Pérou. Cette étude présente une évaluation ethnographique à long terme du développement, gestion et déclin du tourisme communautarien dans la communauté indigène péruvienne rurale de l’île de Taquile, en particulier des relations entre hôtes et médiateurs/agents externes. Jusqu’à présent, les relations avec voyagistes et guides externes ont été généralement acrimonieux dû à la compétition pour le contrôle des transports et au genre de tourisme promu par les gens de l’extérieur. Pourtant, l’initiative de l’île de Taquile a eu du succès au début grâce à l’aide d’un groupe de personnes externes qu’on n’avait pas étudié auparavant. L’étude montre le besoin de faire plus de recherches sur l’impact éventuel de ce genre d’agent/médiateur, surtout en ce qui concerne le développement et l’investissement du secteur public.
