The growth of the Caribbean tourism industry has lead to a changing landscape. New urban centers are emerging as a new type of development. These urban centers are not dense with budding Caribbean populations but exist only as concentrated areas of tourism development. On any given day, the population of the area is made up of a high demographic of tourists, sometimes even more tourists than locals. This is true for many tourist centers around the world. These tourist centers emerge as demand increases for particular areas. The days of an area anchored by a single resort have passed. The creation of these resort towns which concentrate tourism into internationally-recognized places is causing a shift in the landscape. These are urban landscapes built not for growing populations but for growing tourism. Having an urban landscape dictated by an inherently transient population neglects the rich anthropology of the local people. These landscapes no longer reflect the culture of the place but rather, what the place is advertised to be. Author Amelia Moore argues that a greater incorporation of culturally- and naturally-dictated design and a respect for urban anthropology should be prioritized over the growth of the tourism industry. Failure to do so will deteriorate the sustainability of the region.
