Abstract
An ethnographic study of the two Ek' Balams-the notable archaeological site and the adjacent village-of the Yucatan Peninsula. When the archaeological site became a tourist destination, the village became a community-based tourism development project funded by the Mexican government. Maya heritage became important and profitable.--Provided by publisher.
