| Abstract: | Framed around interactional theory, this study aims at opening the "black box" of community relations by exploring the causal factors, processes, and outcomes associated with tourism-led development. A case study methodology is applied in two amenity-rich Costa Rican communities known to present divergent growth and development outcomes after their infiltration in tourism. There are suggested critical relevance of open communication, widespread participation, tolerance, and communion among residents and different tourism-related stakeholders for the promotion of processes leading to tourism-led development. |
