First, a huge thanks to research participants and friends in La Manzanilla who generously shared their time and experience. Special thanks to those who spent time and shared stories with me at places that came to feel like home- around the yellow table, in the spot that started by the crocodiles and moved to the beach where the best fish tacos in the universe are made, and under the palapa where there was often music and always tequila and friends. This research was generously funded for various durations by grants from the Tinker Foundation/Latin American and Iberian Institute, Department of Anthropology, Office of Graduate Studies, and Graduate and Professional Student Association at the University of New Mexico. The writing process was supported by the Louise Lamphere Ortiz Center Public Policy Fellowship and the Graduate Dean’s Dissertation Scholarship at the University of New Mexico. Thanks to my committee members, who graciously read drafts of this document as it progressed, and helped me to shape it in ways that have generated more interesting discussions and possibilities for future research that span both geographic and disciplinary distance. I also appreciate the thoughtful discussions and feedback from anthropologists, sociologists, and geographers with whom I have presented research at the American iii Anthropological Association, Conference of Latin Americanist Geographers, and Society for Applied Anthropology meetings. I am grateful for the fantastic students I have been fortune enough to teach during this writing process. Our classroom discussions often inspired new thinking in my analysis, and reminded me why I love anthropology. And finally, to those I am continually thankful for- to my amazing cohort; to my absolutely essential writing partner; to the incredible friends who supported me during my time in the field and at the computer, and also dragged me out for much needed respites; to the person I can only think to describe as my mentor, who always had the best advice, encouragement, Campari cocktails, and Cava; and to my husband, who is the coolest- I couldn’t have done it without them. iv PARADISE FOUND? LOCAL COSMOPOLITANISM, LIFESTYLE MIGRANT EMPLACEMENT, AND IMAGINARIES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN LA MANZANILLA DEL MAR, MEXICO by JENNIFER CARDINAL B.A., Anthropology, University of Kansas, 2004 M.A., Anthropology, University of New Mexico, 2009 Ph.D., Anthropology, University of New Mexico, 2017 ABSTRACT The southern Jalisco, Mexico coast is experiencing a transition as much of the beach-front land is being privatized for luxury resort development. In this dissertation I consider sustainable development in the coastal community of La Manzanilla del Mar in the context of this shifting social and material landscape. La Manzanilla is a tourism destination of approximately 1,700 residents, including an estimated 300 foreign residents. These foreign residents have been categorized as lifestyle migrants by social scientists, and lifestyle migration is distinguished from labor and forced migration as the consumption-based form of migration practiced primarily by the middle and upper classes of the Global North. What researchers have given little attention to, however, is that the lifestyle at the core of lifestyle migration extends beyond the migrants themselves. I investigate the material and sociocultural development of La Manzanilla through the interrelated practices of various groups of residents who are not easily categorized but rather overlap and intertwine, including local youth entrepreneurs, lifestyle migrants, artist entrepreneurs, conservationists, and nonprofit founders and participants. Whether considered local or foreign, mobile or immobile, mono or v multilingual, I suggest that these La Manzanilla residents may all be described as cosmopolitan, and that the developing cosmopolitan identity of these residents, and the place itself, is inextricably linked to imaginaries of sustainable tourism development. I present a range of discourses about sustainability and sites of community development in this coastal Mexican destination, and discuss the implications of the connection between local understandings and manifestations of cosmopolitanism and global patterns of mobility, consumption, and development. In order to investigate the multiple, conflicting, and concurrent visions of sustainable development in La Manzanilla and the neighboring coast, I examine the relationship between cosmopolitanism, local youth entrepreneurialism, lifestyle migrant emplacement, and tourism imaginaries. I argue that La Manzanilla residents are challenging ideas of environmental, economic, and sociocultural sustainability with interrelated initiatives that comprise a competing model of tourism development distinct from large scale resort development and elite enclave ecotourism characteristic of the surrounding coastal region. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION The Hidden Gem …………………………………………………..1 Scope of Inquiry …………………………………………………………………..4 Imaginaries of Sustainability ……………………………………………………..6 Place, Emplacement, and Cosmopolitanism …………………………………….11 Mobility and Privilege …………………………………………………………..14 Lifestyle Migration in Latin America …………………………………………...19 Lifestyle Migration and Lifestyle Migrants ……………………………………..23 Methods ………………………………………………………………………….25 Chapter Outline ………………………………………………………………….30 CHAPTER 1 Introduction to La Manzanilla del Mar, Jalisco, Costa Alegre, Mexico ……………………………………………………………………………………33 La Manzanilla del Mar …………………………………………………………..33 A Brief History of Mexico/U.S. Relations Via Tourism Development …………36 The Development of La Manzanilla …………………………………………….46 Costa Alegre ……………………………………………………………………..56 La Manzanilla in the Big Picture of Tourism Development …………………….62 CHAPTER 2 The Next Generation: Cosmopolitan Spaces, Places, and Identities ..63 vii “Locals,” Nonprofits, and the Artist Community ……………………………….64 A Cosmopolitan Community ……………………………………………………75 Entrepreneurial Plans and Practices ……………………………………………..79 The Cost of Living in Paradise ………………………………………………….86 Local Aspirations and Agency …………………………………………………..87 CHAPTER 3 Competing Imaginaries of Sustainable Tourism Development ……..89 But What is Sustainable Development? …………………………………………92 Competing Sustainability Imaginaries …………………………………………..94 Nonprofits and Local Projects …………………………………………………..99 Ecotourism and Environmental Perspectives on the Costalegre ……………….101 Elite Utopias ……………………………………………………………………104 Elite Environmentally Sustainable Development ……………………………...110 Destination Mexico …………………………………………………………….113 An Imaginary of Cosmopolitan Sustainable Development ……………………116 Locally Directed Development ………………………………………………...118 CHAPTER 4 Emplacement: The Global and the Local in La Manzanilla ……….120 Emplacement and “Community” Development ………………………………..123 Emplacement and Capital: Forms and Transformations ……………………….130 viii Lifestyle Migration in Mexico …………………………………………………133 Mobility, Cosmopolitan Tastes and Consumption Practices …………………..136 Learning to “Be Local” in La Manzanilla ……………………………………...138 Beyond Brie: Intentional and Unintentional Emplacement ……………………142 CHAPTER 5 The Authentic Global and the Cosmopolitan Local ………………...145 Playa La Manzanilla …………………………………………………………...148 Consuming Authenticity ……………………………………………………….153 Discovering Paradise …………………………………………………………..154 Life in Paradise ………………………………………………………………...157 Still Searching for Home ………………………………………………………160 A Cosmopolitan Authenticity ………………………………………………….163 The Authentic Cosmopolitan …………………………………………………..165

  • 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.

In a recent synopsis of tourism geography research 16 in Latin America and the Caribbean, Mexico was identied as the leading 17 country in the region in terms of the volume of tourism geography publi- 18 cations produced, as well as theses and dissertations (Meyer-Arendt 2002). 19 At least two major reasons account for this: (1) Mexico is close and easily 20 accessible for North American researchers, and (2) geography as a disci- 21 pline is quite healthy in Mexico, and a small contingent of tourism geog- 22 raphers has developed considerable research attention on the major tourist 23 destinations there. 24 Proximity has been a large factor in the popularity of Mexico as a 25 destination for eld research by American and Canadian geographers, 26 especially since the early years of Carl Sauer’s ‘Berkeley school’. While 27 the Berkeley cultural geographers studiously avoided areas impacted by 28 tourism, geographers today are increasingly receptive to understanding the 29 role of tourism – at traditional tourist destinations, at newly created 30 touristic growth poles, and in isolated regions that may have ethnic 31 or wilderness appeal to alternative tourists. Some North American geog- 32 raphers have investigated tourism topics along the US–Mexico border, 33 whereas others venture further and deeper into the interior for their 34 tourism research.

  • Cruise Planners
    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.
