Reunion Island's cirques, a becoming territory : questions and concerns

Reunion Island's cirques, a becoming territory : questions and concerns

Abstract

Le tourisme à La Réunion est un secteur jugé prometteur pour le développement économique de l'île mais de nombreuses questions subsistent concernant la fréquentation et le devenir des espaces touristiques. Ce travail de recherche a ainsi mis la problématique spatiale, notamment au niveau des cirques, au cœur de l'analyse. Cilaos, Mafate et Salazie sont les cirques de La Réunion et constituent l'originalité et l'une des images les plus attractives de l'île. Ils sont aussi au centre des problématiques liées à la conciliation du développement économique et de la protection environnementale. Après avoir abordé la phase de touristification des cirques qui a structuré des espaces, aujourd'hui en « mal développement », l'étude se focalise sur les pratiques, les représentations et les acteurs touristiques qui démontrent que les cirques sont devenus en réalité, un seul territoire, transformation qui devait jouer un rôle moteur pour la destination Réunion. La thèse s'inscrit alors dans une démarche de prospective territoriale qui soulève les enjeux de la gouvernance, dans la mise en place d'un projet de territoire touristique durable.

In Reunion Island, tourism is a promising area for its economic development. However, many questions still raising about the attendance and future of the tourist spaces. Cilaos, Mafate and Salazie are the cirques of the island and reflect the originality and promote an appealing image of Reunion Island. Conciliation proceedings between economic development and environmental protection are at the heart of the reflexion. Having dealt with the touristification stage of the cirques which structured the spaces and needed to be developed, the study is focusing upon the touristic practices, its representations and its tourism stakeholders. Actually, as the cirques became one territory, they should have played a key role for Reunion Island destination. In regard to territorial prospective, the research reveals the governance issues and challenges according the implementation of a sustainable tourism project.
