Growth machines and social movements in mature tourist destinations Costa del Sol-Málaga Navarro-Jurado, Enrique Romero Padilla, Yolanda Romero-Martínez, José María Serrano-Muñoz, Eduardo Habegger, Sabina Mora-Esteban, Rubén 338.48 Mature coastal tourist destinations Urban growth machine Social movements Costa del Sol Degrowth Turismo 5312.90 Economía Sectorial: Turismo The purpose of this study is to analyse the new processes of tourism growth and its conflicts from the perspective of social movements. First, the urban growth machine analysis model is applied by the systematisation of six projects. Second, the resistance movements against those projects and whether this resistance could be the start of local tourism degrowth policies are examined. The methodology is qualitative, based on documentary analysis, participatory observation, discussion groups and interviews. The case study is the destination of Costa del Sol-M alaga. The results enable the development of the urban growth machine model in tourist destinations. Meanwhile, social movements demystify the argument based on neoclassical economic progress. The social movements condemn the effects of large-scale top-down projects, and implement alternative bottom-up proposals. Although the social movements do not reject tourism, they call for greater control over its impact, denounce unlimited growth, overtourism and the loss of urban quality of life. These movements advocate a lifestyle linked to the everyday space, which they believe is threatened by excessive urban-tourism growth. They are a symptom of the need to devise a proposal using the principles of degrowth.
