Internal migration and labor dynamics in the tourist industry of the Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico. Rev. ABRA [online]. 2020, vol.40, n.60, pp.68-89.

Internal or inter-State migration processes, the conceptualization of which involves the displacement of persons within the same national State, have been studied as factors in various problems of economic growth since the Second World War, This social phenomenon has been accentuated in coastal areas and has contributed to the growth of tourist resorts as part of tourism policy since the 1970s in Mexico. This in turn has generated a significant demand for employment in the service sector, to which the labor force of other states of the Mexican Republic and the surrounding indigenous communities has responded, generating socio-cultural implications mainly of identity and acculturation. Consequently, the internal migrant is personified through his or her history of mobility, his or her work routines under stationary conditions with low pay in strenuous working days. In this context, the present proposal consists of a quantitative-descriptive method, as part of a research Project of the University of Quintana Roo, in Playa del Carmen and gives way to the reflection on the way in which the tourist growth generates a migratory drag that has caused cultural transformations of uses and customs of the destinations of origin and, on the other hand, it has precarious working conditions represented by a neoliberal development model of the service industry in the tourist destinations of the Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico.
