This article discusses local impacts of NET by comparing the appropriation of ecosystem services and socio-territorial dynamics against the coastal model favored by land use planning under the terms of applicable laws. Simultaneously, real estate development, in particular in connection to neoexclusive tourism (NET), is expanding and taking over natural spaces. New land use instruments have been approved in the past few decades. The coast on the Eastern Region of Uruguay has historically been developed in connection with residential tourism. La gran mayoría de turistas visitan por primera vez esta área geográfica de sol y playa mexicana. Por su parte, lo menos valorado ha sido la experiencia cultural y de aventuras. Los espectáculos dentro del propio hotel es el aspecto más valorado en este destino. Asimismo, destacan viajeros con una estadía durante 3-5 días, que viajan acompañados de compañeros de trabajo, amigos o con su pareja. Los principales resultados de esta investigación muestran que esta modalidad es la opción elegida por personas con una edad inferior a los 49 años, con una educación universitaria, con un nivel económico alto y destacando turistas provenientes de Estados Unidos, Reino Unido y México. Para ello, se presentan los resultados obtenidos a través de la realización de un cuestionario a los turistas que se alojan en hoteles resort todo incluido. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el perfil sociodemográfico, los detalles del viaje, las valoraciones de determinadas variables y la satisfacción de los turistas que disfrutan de un viaje a través de la modalidad todo incluido en el destino turístico de Cancún, México. La modalidad ‘todo incluido’ forma parte de una de las principales ofertas turísticas en destinos de sol y playa, proporcionando beneficios para los turistas, pero que también generan costes de carácter ambiental en el destino. There is a clear relationship between key ecosystems and the new developments, great discrepancies in the information issued by the promoters, as well as a clear bias of the regulations tending to the exclusive use of the space for the sake of its conservation. Georeferenced information is contrasted with quantitative and qualitative analyses of regulations, applications for environmental permits, requests for exceptions to territorial planning, and information used by real estate sale sites. This paper analyzes local results of the TNE, comparing the appropriation of ecosystem services and the socio-territorial dynamics, with the coastal model promoted from the territorial ordering and its related legislation. Simultaneously, real estate development, particularly that destined to neo-exclusive tourism (TNE), is expanding and taking over natural areas. In recent decades new territorial planning instruments have been approved. The coast of Región Este, Uruguay, has a historical development linked to residential tourism. Despite its limitations, we believe that this methodology proves useful for identifying key ecosystem disturbances and their consequences, providing a useful tool for identifying appropriate actions to inform coastal zone management plans. Results need to consider the limitations associated with using this technique e.g., the degree of impact from a current disturbance may vary from that reported in an earlier publication. Additionally, we discuss how disturbances and their impacts, as screened through PRISMA, can be incorporated into a coastal zone management framework. The PRISMA framework was used to conduct a systematic literature review to identify the ecosystem disturbances that affect this area, as well as the main causes and consequences of these disturbances. We chose the Mexican Caribbean as a case study, because its biological and cultural complexity render it an interesting location from a coastal management point of view. The objective of this study was to identify ecosystem disturbances at a site of interest to recommend strategies to improve coastal zone management. In this scenario, natural disturbances, previously considered an integral part of ecosystem dynamics, can now cause irreversible change to the state of ecosystems, and at the same time, negatively impact social and economic systems. Global disturbances, such as climate change, can also have a substantial, overarching impact on ecosystems. In a relatively short timescale (less than 50 years), urbanization has caused many anthropogenic disturbances that have affected ecosystem health and, directly or indirectly, quality of life for the local human population.
