Tiivistelmä: | This paper analyses the way in which established and current models of tourist development conceptualize backpackers (here as: b-pks.) and their destinations (here as: dests). In addition, some specific suggestions are provided allowing them to explain the evolution of b-pks.) dests. in more detail. Presented are results of field research conducted at Mexico's largest b-pks. resort as to illustrate its particular socio-spatial evolution. It is concluded that, with an increasing number of arrivals and a growing demand for comforts, what were once drifter-dominated peripheral places may evolve gradually into well-established resorts etc. |
