This paper offers a critical assessment of how tourism development in the municipality of Los Cabos, Baja California Sur affects land and water use. Los Cabos is a seaside tourism Mecca located at the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula, in Mexico’s northwest. There, subsidised profits and a process of dispossession in the tourism sector have to do mainly with land and water appropriation in the form of restrictions to beach access by the local population, urban segregation and, in an arid region, privileging water provision for the tourism industry over the needs of the population. In order to sustain these claims, we map water and land use for tourism in Cabo San Lucas. We also analyse the expansion of the Los Cabos type of tourism to the small town of La Ribera, in the East Cape-Cabo Pulmo area, where marinas and high scale housing for residential tourism sprout along the coast. We argue that the seemingly ever-growing presence of tourism in the region carries with it an urgent call for the reappraisal of current approaches to land and water use, if local resources are to deliver quality of life for the population, and not only economic profitability for (mostly) foreign capital. Analytically, we address these issues by unpacking David Harvey’s concept of accumulation by dispossession, which – we argue – is for our purposes a broader tent than the (mostly Latin American) theorisations on extractivism, as we explain later in the relevant section of the paper.

墨西哥下加利福尼亚州洛斯卡沃斯市旅游经济中土地和水利用的关键地理方法

本文提供了对南下加利福尼亚州洛斯卡沃斯市旅游业发展如何影响土地和水利用的重要评估。洛斯卡沃斯(Los Cabos)是位于麦加(Maja)的海滨旅游胜地,位于墨西哥西北部下加利福尼亚半岛(Baja California)半岛的南端。那里的补贴利润和旅游业的剥夺过程主要与土地和水的分配有关,其形式为限制当地人口进入海滩,城市隔离以及在干旱地区使旅游用水特权化工业超过了人口的需求。为了维持这些主张,我们绘制了卡波圣卢卡斯的水和土地用于旅游业的地图。我们还分析了Los Cabos类型的旅游业向东开普卡波普尔莫地区La Ribera小镇的扩展,滨海区和用于住宅旅游业的高档住宅在沿海地区兴起。我们认为,如果当地资源不仅是为了提高人民的生活质量,而且该地区看似不断增长的旅游业迫切要求重新评估目前的土地和水资源利用方式, (主要是)外国资本。从分析上讲,我们通过剥夺戴维·哈维的剥夺性积累概念来解决这些问题,我们认为,相对于(主要是拉丁美洲)关于提取主义的理论,剥夺我们的目的是一个更广泛的目的,正如我们稍后在本文的相关章节中所解释的那样。 。我们认为,如果当地资源不仅是为了提高人民的生活质量,而且该地区看似不断增长的旅游业迫切要求重新评估目前的土地和水资源利用方式, (主要是)外国资本。从分析上讲,我们通过剥夺戴维·哈维的剥夺性积累概念来解决这些问题,我们认为,相对于(主要是拉丁美洲)关于提取主义的理论,剥夺我们的目的是一个更广泛的目的,正如我们稍后在本文的相关章节中所解释的那样。 。我们认为,如果当地资源不仅是为了提高人民的生活质量,而且该地区看似不断增长的旅游业迫切要求重新评估目前的土地和水资源利用方式, (主要是)外国资本。从分析上讲,我们通过剥夺戴维·哈维的剥夺性积累概念来解决这些问题,我们认为,相对于(主要是拉丁美洲)关于剥削主义的理论,剥削是我们的目的,正如我们稍后在本文的相关章节中所解释的那样。 。
