Abstract
CORDOBA Y ORDONEZ, Juan. Tourism, development and disneyzation: a question about resources or inventiveness?. Invest. Geog [online]. 2009, n.70, pp.33-54. ISSN 2448-7279.
Tourism, one of the more dynamic activities of the socioeconomic system, is profoundly entangled with economic and above all cultural globalization. Growth, diversification and several qualitative changes have helped tourism activities to transversally affect a growing number of activities and social levels around the world. This is especially evident when contemplating disneyzation processes. In them, heritage management practices have become a core issue in development policies that not very often consider their cultural impacts. This paper aims to offer some reflections for the discussion of these issues through the examination of arguments and empirical study cases from Mexico.
Keywords : Tourism; development; disneyzation; heritage; Mexico; Yucatán.
