description | The article shows how the socio-economic relations that underlie the construction of discourse on tourism development influence the material practices in the space appropriation process. It argues that the power, values, and beliefs are a set of discourses of different groups and classes in a tourist area. These discourses shape, through material practices, the tourism space. It illustrate the entanglement of these complex relationships through the case study conducted on Île-à-Vache. In fact, the "existential comfort" that the tourist research plays a vital role. It influences the hegemonic discourse of the dominant players and dictate management decisions of the tourist destinations. As part of the production and the development of tourism Île-à-Vache, it helps to explain the mechanism of capital accumulation by dispossession in the uneven geographical development process. |
