Summary/Abstract: Tourism is growing fast and for less developed regions, it represents a chance for rapid development; for this, the attraction of a region should be transformed into the regional tourism product through phases like the organization, direction and control, with the participation of different actors. The aim of the study was to determine the level of participation of stakeholders in the management of tourist regions. The study was conducted focusing on two mountainous regions of Poland and Peru, the data was collected from key informant interviews, surveys and participant observation in their natural environment complemented with information from secondary sources. Finding that the two regions have similar elements as in the two regions formulated rules of operation; they initiated with the participation of external actors in the region and the people gradually became involved and the elements of culture became part of the attractions for tourists who visit them. Concluding that the management of tourist regions in remote communities requires the integration of both public and private actors and local development of new tourism products.
