Abstract

The presence of large transnational tourist companies on the Mexican coastline whose interests are different from those of the local population have led to the segregation of space in these zones. These conditions can be seen in concrete terms in the southern extreme of the Baja California peninsula, in the region known as Los Cabos, in which megaprojects devoted to the development of tourism have greatly influenced the distribution and value of land. While the tourist areas have excellent urban infrastructure and services, the opposite occurs in areas occupied by the local population. In addition, large tourist projects have encouraged high rates of urban expansion.
Keywords: Spatial development; economic development; Mexico; megaprojects; land use
