Resumo: Community-based tourism refers to a management model controlled by the self-organization and the agency of local actors. There is a vast collection of studies that report the way in which social groups use their traditional organizational structures to discuss and decide the goals associated with community entrepreneurships; however, the way in which collective agency is exercised through the four phases of the management process has not been explained in detail yet . To address this knowledge gap, the agency exercised by the Nahuatl population in the Toselan Kali tourism cooperative (Puebla, Mexico), is analyzed through a phenomenological approach, before and during the pandemic caused by Covid 19. The results reveal the way in which agency is applied by the cooperative members in planning, organizing, managing, and controlling their business, while, at the same time, making adjustments moved by the pandemic. The methodology was based on a qualitative approach operated through participant observation and semi-structured interviews. Their application made it possible to contrast the presence of the dimensions of agency proposed by Norman Long.
