Building networks for collaboration ................................................... 279 Preface This research publication has been made possible through the combined efforts of Mexican and Canadian people.The most important aspect of this research is on the development and application of methods and techniques, and they are used in case studies which are described in four extended detailed chapters (I, II, III, IV). In Chapter I Memories of–Memorias de Puerto Vallarta, Bryan H. Massam, John Everitt, Derrek Eberts, Rodrigo Espinoza Sánchez, Rosa María Chávez Dagostino and Edmundo Andrade present their indi- vidual tales of Puerto Vallarta. The tales are built around memories of Puerto Vallarta, and as such put emphasis on personal subjective opinions of a specific place, over a particular period of time stretching back almost 20 years. Some academics may argue that this approach lacks precision, as it does not rely on objective sets of data and formal analysis. We contend that a picture of a place that captures the mood and atmosphere and attitudes and values, as perceived by an observer, is a useful and worthwhile way to set the scene for scientific studies of tourism. In Chapter II Lived Experiences, Bryan H. Massam, Brian J. Hracs and Rodrigo Espinoza Sánchez identify and describe methods for iden- tifying and describing Lived Experiences as used to study quality of life. This approach offers an interesting method for research on the lives of citizens, and it can relate to the local context or milieu where Mexicans are living their daily lives. The application of this method is described, and it is evaluated as a research method using responses from groups 9 of students in four different places in the world. The method is applied to the study of tourism as an important academic field. In Chapter III Tourism in Mexico: cui bono, autem cui malo, Bryan H. Massam and Rodrigo Espinoza Sánchez write about the impacts of tourism in two different communities. They make a comparison between a tourism resort that is already developed in the state of Nayarit, and another that is at the initial stages of trying to establish itself as a dynamic modern large-scale tourist resort. This community is located in the municipality of Tomatlan, Jalisco. In each case they describe and measure the ways that a community can be divided along the lines of those who win or benefit from tourism, and those who may lose or suffer as a consequence of tourism. The difficulties of identifying the winners and losers are examined. In Chapter IV Tourism in Mexico: many faces, Bryan H. Massam, Brian J. Hracs and Rodrigo Espinoza discuss the importance of tourism in the contemporary world, and more particularly in Mexico. They demonstrate an approach that identifies the basic dimensions of the life of an individual. The problems of selecting information to describe each dimension are described. They show how the method and technique using “locus of control” can be used to examine the impacts of tourism in some communities in Mexico. Detailed results are presented. In Chapter V Reflections on methods, techniques and results for quality of life studies: impacts of tourism in Mexican communities, Bryan H. Massam and Rodrigo Espinoza Sánchez offer a set of reflections regarding the use of studies of quality of life to help decision-makers and the general public improve the lives of all individuals, now and into the future. There are many kinds of impacts of tourism in a Mexican

  • In Jalisco State, Costalegre Poised As Next Luxury Hot Spot
    THE TRAVEL INDUSTRY'S TRUSTED VOICE News & Featured Destinations Our Voices Resources Hotel & Cruise INSIGHT MEXICO INSIGHT In Jalisco state, Costalegre poised as next luxury hot spot By Meagan Drillinger | Sep 09, 2019 When it comes to luxury enclaves in Mexico, there are a few that stand out: Riviera Maya/Tulum, Los Cabos and Punta Mita, for example. But the coast of Jalisco between Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo is on track to become the next luxury hideaway in Meagan Drillinger the country. "This has been one of the main points of the agenda for the governor of Jalisco," said German Ralis, Jalisco's tourism secretary. "We want to make Costalegre the new brand of the Pacific coast -- to be the best. [The government] is putting a lot of infrastructure to make it one of the best in the world." Among the developments: a plan for a new highway that will decrease the time from Puerto Vallarta to Chalacatepec in Costalegre from two hours to 25 minutes. With this highway, visitors who want to explore beyond Puerto Vallarta's beaches will be able to quickly drive south to off-the-beaten-path locations such as Isla Cocinas and Isla Pajarera. The highway would improve airport transfers from Puerto Vallarta to Careyes, which is an exclusive private luxury estate in Costalegre. But there's much more to come in that section of the state, as well. Major innovations and new properties are in the works, including Four Seasons Tamarindo, which will open in 2020 with 160 rooms and a golf course. There will also be a new Zoetry resort (the first in Jalisco) from AMResorts.

    Sandy White [email protected] www.sandlertravel.com 832-305-7825 PUERTO VALLARTA, JALISCO, MEXICO OVERVIEW Introduction Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, masterfully plays the part of a remote tropical getaway, even as it grows into a larger city that's connected to the outside world by multinational chain stores and a steady stream of jets and cruise ships. Puerto Vallarta's success has a lot to do with looks. However, in recent years, unchecked development along every inch of its beach has gradually turned the once-quaint fishing village enjoyed by the moneyed few into a mass-market destination. Still, there remains much beauty in Vallarta (as it is known to the locals and habitues) and the coast to its northwest. Whitewashed walls and terra-cotta-tiled roofs are nestled along Banderas Bay, with the ornate crown of the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe serving as a focal point. The lush, green foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains to the east make for a beautiful and dramatic backdrop. Puerto Vallarta's style is another key. Even as more and more travelers have arrived, and more and more hotels have been built, it has somehow managed to retain—or at least appears to retain—a cultured grace that's rare in heavily touristed areas. Artists, architects, writers and chefs flourish in this rarified climate of tropical creativity. The restaurants, galleries and shops there are some of the finest in the country, drawing local talent from Mexico City and Guadalajara, and farther afield from Italy, Switzerland, Canada, the U.S. and elsewhere.

  • EXPERT REPORT of DR. EVERARD MEADE July 12, 2016 1. Counsel
    EXPERT REPORT OF DR. EVERARD MEADE July 12, 2016 1. Counsel for has asked me to offer expert testimony to assist the Court in evaluating his claim for asylum. I respectfully submit this report, and any corresponding testimony at the hearing, in order to: (1) provide background regarding the events in question and the areas of Mexico in which they occurred; (2) explain the country conditions in Mexico, both in the present and in the period extending back to 2006; (3) offer my opinion on the consistency of the declaration of Mr. with the conditions in Mexico at the relevant times and in the relevant places; and (4) discuss the likelihood that Mr. would be harmed if returned to Mexico. 2. As the Director of the Trans-Border Institute at the University of San Diego, I monitor the conditions in Mexico on a continual basis. As a historian of Mexico and Central America focused on the relationships between violence, memory, and the law, I have tracked patterns of violence and their relationship to the criminal justice system since at least 1998. See attached (curriculum vitae). I have testified before Immigration Courts across the country in conjunction with removal proceedings and asylum applications. 3. Before preparing this report, I reviewed and consulted a number of academic, journalistic, and government sources (from Mexico and the United States), many of which are cited herein. As discussed herein, I conducted certain independent research using resources that I customarily consult when researching country conditions in Mexico and the impact of the latest developments in drug trafficking, organized crime, and law enforcement operations on basic human rights conditions, in particular.

  • Sustainable Development Frictions: Lifestyle Migration on the Coast of Jalisco, Mexico
    Sustainable development frictions: lifestyle migration on the coast of Jalisco, Mexico Jennifer Cardinal1 Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA Abstract The concept of sustainability is materialized differently in luxury ecotourism development and in locally- directed community development initiatives. I examine the diverse environmental ideologies at play in these two distinct incarnations of "sustainable development" on the southern Jalisco, Mexico coast; first, in La Manzanilla, a community inhabited by a proportionately large population of leisure consumption-driven lifestyle migrants, then to the north, in elite ecotourism enclaves and a community displaced by a wealthy developer. I suggest these divergent development incarnations may be understood by expanding the concept of lifestyle migration to include a broader range of enactments of home, from different class perspectives. Global environmental ideologies and lifestyle migrant capital play a fundamental but not the only role in local sustainable development. I suggest global influences and local initiatives are creating a productive friction, reassembling global environmental knowledge and tourism imaginaries to suit local agendas. While there is no consensus on what sustainable development should look like in La Manzanilla, the intersection of initiatives is producing locally-directed development that contrasts with the erasure of local agendas happening in elite costal developments nearby. Keywords: sustainable development, friction, environmental ideology, tourism, lifestyle migration Résumé La durabilité se matérialise de différentes manières dans les initiatives de développement de l'écotourisme de luxe et dans le développement des communautés locales. J'examine les diverses idéologies environnementales en jeu dans ces deux incarnations distinctes du «développement durable» sur la côte sud de Jalisco, au Mexique. Premièrement, à La Manzanilla, une communauté d'écotourisme et de modes de vie d'élite, et deuxièmement, une communauté déplacée par un riche promoteur immobilier.
