This paper carries out an exhaustive review of the national and international regulatory framework in order to provide an extensive/thorough defense of why it is more appropriate that the local communities and indigenous people develop their own Certi cation Processes concerning the Community-Based Tourism initiatives based on "Destino Siete Lagos, Comuna de Panguipulli, Región de Los Ríos", in the south of Chile.By carefully and thoroughly analyzing the current Classi cation, Quality and Safety system of Tourism Service Providers introduced by the Tourism Law, it proves that it is possible to move from the tourism service providers´ quality and security certi cation system to a self-certi cation.The right of indigenous people and local communities to decide their own priorities with regards to the development process (as far as it affects/concerns them) and to control their own processes of economic, social and cultural development is the conceptual and legal basis which supports the launch and development of self-certi cation processes of touristic quality.This provides a basic platform/framework to generate an open dialogue between authorities, indigenous people and local communities, as well as arguments for the recognition, promotion and acknowledgement of this process, which ts with current trends in the development of the touristic activities carried out by communities at the Latin American level.
