Derrek Ebert (2010.)While tourism in Mexico remains a significant economic sector, the waste generated from the thousands of tourists has inevitably put stress on several communities’ waste management systems. In the case of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, tourism accounts for approximately half of the total waste stream, and it is likely that this has an impact on the lives of local residents. This paper will attempt to examine the impact of the 350 tonnes of garbage that is processed and scavenged through daily at a dump located within the city. The results from a survey conducted in four neighbourhoods at differing proximities from the dump, and key informant interviews, suggest a negative relationship between the waste generated by tourists in Puerto Vallarta and residential quality of life.
