Baja California and California's Merging Tourist Corridors: The Influence of Mexican Government Policies

Colegio de la Frontera Norte in Tijuana, Mexico

This article aims to show how the Mexican government's development policies have contributed to promoting coastal regions whose economic base rests on tourist activity. In this context, it describes the pattern of development taken by urbanization within a tourism development zone in northern Mexico: the Tijuana-Ensenada Coastal Corridor (Corredor Costero Tijuana-Ensenada), in Baja California. The article is concerned with the events that have influenced the zone's current configuration, that is, how and under what conditions tourism's process of implantation in space has occurred and what mechanisms have facilitated it.
