Gringolandia is located in Cancun, Mexico, which locals refer it as a term that reflects the circus-like spectacle of the overbuilt resort, embedded in a region deeply divided by uneven development and the ensuing inequitable power relations.
Because of globalization facilitate the travel easier for the people from one country to other country. So there are high number of tourists who visit Cancun. So, the elite and government only develop in the area where tourist will be visit instead of locals area where all the workers and immigrants are located. As Cancun can be divides into three geographical spaces which are the tourist zone including large number of hotel strip on the Cancun island, the FONATUR planned service city for local government and workers, and 'lost city' (Colonia Puerto Juarez shanty town) which spontaneously developed with the arrival of immigrant population seeking for work. This larger the gap of inequality between the locals and higher level of the citizens. Even though the high number of tourists increase the financial level of the country but on the other hand it has effect on the environmental and social issues. With the popularity of Gringolandia inspired lots of migrants to relocated and come work here in this area which caused the transnationalism where people across the borders of nation states.
