In a global scenario of environmental crisis, the wild and untouched nature of the planet is exposed to intensive use pressures by different productive sectors. In Chilean Patagonia, an area recognized for its environmental, scenic, and tourist value, large energy projects have caused environmental conflicts. The research objective is to analyze the tourism sectorÍ€™s role in three environmental conflicts through a comparative case study. The hypothesis is that the tourism sector has a discourse of opposition to energy projects. However, the results show that this sector develops ambivalently in conflicts. On the one hand, it actively opposes large energy projects due to their impact on the landscapeÍ€™s naturalness. On the other hand, it sees them as a development opportunity to contribute to a greater touristification of the territory.Downloads
