Program, Carthage College: "Tourism, Development, and Mbya Guaraní

Communities in Argentina" In Argentina, the Mbya Guaraní ethnic

people live in near the Iguazú Falls which are being rapidly developed

for tourist use. While tourism has brought needed income to some Mbya

governmental policy makers have developed tourism on Mbya lands, and

suggest goals that stakeholders should achieve in their plans for

sustainable development.
