摘要：Currently, women venture into various productive areas without neglecting their central role
within the domestic unit. However, there are areas, especially rural areas, where the
incorporation of women in economic activities can contribute to improving both their personal
perception and their life conditions. The objective of the research was to analyze the
participation of women in environmental conservation from rural tourism in the ejido Adolfo
Lopez Mateos, located in the Protected Natural Area Reserve of the Biosphere the Tuxtlas,
Veracruz, identifying its contribution in the development sustainable local. The methodological
contributions of Cañada and Gascón (2007) regarding rural tourism were considered, as well as
Knight and Cottrell (2015) regarding the empowerment and participation of women. A
qualitative field research was carried out in the place of study, based on interviews directed to
women who work in the tourist activity. It is concluded that peasant women are able to
contribute to sustainable local development, from their incorporation into the offer of tourism
services and the harmonious relationship and respect for natural and cultural resources, thus
allowing their conservation for future generations.
