AB Indigenous cultures are significant for tourism but their owners have been systematicallyexcluded from its benefits and control. To counteract this tendency, some indigenous organisationsare becoming tourist agents offering alternative eco -cultural tourism. Their niche market has socialand ecological consciousness but influenced by postcolonialist ideologies it still expects culture to be“authentic”. To succeed, indigenous organisations need to manage tensions between their own culture andidentities and what the market demands. Applying the notion of cultural control, in this article I evaluatehow alternative projects in Mexico and Peru deal with the challenge of commoditising culture and natureon their own terms. To understand the paradoxes they face, I analyse their cultural representations,organisational identities and alliances through an ethnographic reading of their Web -stories.
