Resumen:

Tourism is a human activity sensitive to climate. This chapter provides a brief description of some of the problems that underlie tourism development in one particular town - Zipolite - a small town on the coast of Oaxaca, Mexico. Discussion focuses on how climate change adaptation policies portray and evaluate the environmental risks that jeopardise tourism development and create environmental fragility and damage. The chapter provides insight into these critical issues and shows that the expansion of political economies based on massive investment in infrastructure can involve marginalisation of local communities from development.
