Residential Tourism: (De)Constructing Paradise offers the first
in-depth, critical exploration of the foreign retirement/expatriate
communities proliferating in both size and number throughout Latin
America. Amidst the widespread development and promotion of
international destinations of residential "paradise" intended for
retirement, leisure, and experiences of exotica, this book draws on
a diversity of perspectives in order to analyze the social and
spatial impacts that dynamic phenomenon has on the people and
places it directly affects at the local level. Utilizing the
community of Boquete, Panama as a case study, this book examines
how two diverse residential groups - the native community who have
lived in the area for generations and the foreign residential
tourists who have just recently relocated abroad - coexist in a
shared place of home, define their experiences of place and
community, and confront the mass development of residential tourism
in Boquete.
