Summary: Residential Tourism: (De)Constructing Paradise offers the first in-depth, critical exploration of the foreign retirement/expatriate communities proliferating in both size and number throughout Latin America.

Utilizing the community of Boquete, Panama as a case study, this book examines how two diverse residential groups - the native community who have lived in the area for generations and the foreign residential tourists who have just recently relocated abroad - coexist in a shared place of home, define their experiences of place and community, and confront the mass development of residential tourism in Boquete.
