Ecotourism, as a community development strategy, seeks to simultaneously achieve conservation and development, but its design does not usually consider the complexity of the local contexts where it is implemented. This study analyzes the role played by the configuration of the local and regional socio‑political context in the development of two ecotourism initiatives in the Zona Maya of Quintana Roo, Mexico. Using qualitative tools, the study compares two ecotourism initiatives. Our results show that the implementation of the ecotourism strategies in the region results in different ecotourism models, even in communities of the same zone. These differences depend mainly on the type of social organisation from which the initiatives originate, which influences their socioeconomic and environmental dynamics. The relevance of ecotourism as a generic conservation and development strategy, the mixed results of its implementation and the importance of the forms of social organisation in its development are discussed

“This is a critical time for scholars who study international students to reassess our research agenda for the field,” remarked Rose-Redwood and Rose-Redwood (2017) in their guest editorial here two issues ago, “because we simply cannot proceed as if it were business as usual within the current political context” (p. ii). Addressing the rise of anti-immigrant environment in the country more generally, Glass (2017) wrote in the preceding editorial that “[a] staunch acceptance of reality must be buttressed by strongly held values,” enumerating values such as “promoting global engagement and understanding, engaging in civic responsibility beyond local contexts, fostering the appreciation for languages and cultures, and strengthening foreign relations and peacebuilding among nations” (p. ii).

The complex spatial and economic planning of development of territorial communities on the conditions of their combination which will promote effective management of territories and ensure integrated sustainable development of territories for the future generations is investigated. The peculiarities of the legislation on new provisions of spatial and economic planning of territorial communities are covered, the main approaches to the development of the Comprehensive Spatial Development Plan of the Territory of Territorial Community, the Concept of Integrated Development of the Territorial Community and the Territorial Community Development Strategy are compared. The scheme of connections of elements at formation of the specified Comprehensive Plan, Concept and Strategy is constructed. The legislative level acceptance of the provisions on joint approaches to the formation of key documents of spatial and economic planning of territorial communities, the unity of land management documentation and urban planning documentation at the local level is established. It is shown that the Concept of Integrated Development of the Territorial Community is the basis and a certain “bridge” for combining the principles and indicators in the formation of the Comprehensive Spatial Development Plan of the Territory of Territorial Community and the Territorial Community Development Strategy. The formation of the Concept is proposed to be carried out on the basis of preliminary conceptual and structural modeling of endogenous potential of territorial communities that will establish the features of the existing potential by its elements (natural resources, production and infrastructure, labor, socio-cultural, etc.) that have a place in each community depending on its specific and general characteristics. It is proved that the modeling of the potential of territorial communities is carried out on the basis of establishing, integrating, uniting, combining, interpenetrating of connections and dependencies in the present time and their interpretation (design, transfer) to the appropriate time perspective (five, ten and more years).
