过去 50 年来旅游业的快速增长产生了许多重要后果。其中之一是整个大都市区严重依赖旅游业的演变，马林斯将这种现象称为旅游城市化。这些城市中心包括美国的拉斯维加斯和奥兰多、澳大利亚的阳光海岸和黄金海岸以及墨西哥的坎昆。对美国以外依赖旅游业的城市的研究表明，它们在象征性和社会性方面与更传统的大都市区不同。作者评估了旅游业对美国大都市区的影响，并确定美国依赖旅游业的城市是否与其他地方的城市相似。作者发现美国的旅游城市化有两种截然不同的类型。一类专门从事“阳光、沙滩、海洋”旅游，另一类专门从事资本高度密集的旅游景点。这两类旅游城市表现出不同的社会结构，并且都与美国以外的旅游城市有重要的不同。
The rapid growth of the tourism industry over the past 50 years has had a number of important consequences. One of these is the evolution of entire metropolitan areas heavily dependent on tourism, a phenomenon Mullins calls tourism urbanization. Such urban centers include Las Vegas and Orlando in the United States, the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast in Australia, and Cancun in Mexico. Studies of tourism-dependent cities outside the United States have shown them to differ symbolically and socially from more traditional metropolitan areas. The author evaluates the effects of tourism on American metropolitan areas and determines whether tourism-dependent cities in the United States are similar to those elsewhere. The author found two distinct types of tourism urbanization in the United States. One type specializes in "sun, sand, and sea" tourism, and the other specializes in highly capital-intensive tourist attractions. The two types of tourist cities exhibit different social structures, and both differ in important ways from tourist cities outside the United States.
