• Resumen

  • Since the mid-1980s, studies on cultural heritage, whether material or immaterial, have been gaining prominence in tourism. However, there have been few debates and approaches dedicated to the understanding of socio-historical and ethnic-racial cultural peculiarities that promote the establishment of an agenda of tourist services that involve cultural heritage that recall Afro-Brazilian traditions. It is in this perspective that the authors propose a reflection elaborated from the intersection between the debate of ethnic-racial relations and tourism in Afro-religious communities, analyzing the challenges and contradictions of the promotion of tourist activities in Terreiros of Candomblé and Umbanda, in addition to gathering information that show the invisibility and prejudices in relation to these religions at the national level and valuing their tourist potential.
