Resumo: The tourism enclave model adopted by the Mexican government since the 1970s, known as Centro Integralmente Planeado (CIP), has been replicated in new destinations, Litibú, Nayarit, being one of them. This model has proved to be disadvantageous in host community’s well-being. In this vein it is necessary to study tourism’s associated changes beyond the common paradigm that communities are passive agents that only receive impacts from outside without the capability to act accordingly. From a phenomenological perspective, this study reports on tourism’s effects on a community, namely Higuera Blanca, and shows the ways local people re-construct their reality through dialogic and diachronic manners. Through a qualitative approach, it is demonstrated that local people is critical towards a tourism development model that is characterised by the exclusion of locals.
