Abstract

Research centers have an important role in the scientific area and a direct impact on the
community they are located. It is clear that in many cases this impact and the relationship
between them appears unnoticed and is not valued. There are many ways to integrate both:
centers and community in scientific tourism. This article describes the reality of two research
centers, one in Brazil and one in Costa Rica. Both centers and communities where they are,
show important features to take into account when relating them to an activity such as scientific
tourism. These features are described in detail and seek to launch a process that comes to a
theoretically supported proposal later.
