Summary

A sustainable tourism model, Maya Ka'an Destination, has emerged as a promising alternative to diversify activities in Quintana Roo, Mexico, while minimizing environmental impact. This initiative leverages the natural attractions of Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve and surrounding areas, aiming to integrate Mayan indigenous communities into the local tourism value chain. The project, driven by a collective vision from various sectors, balances conservation efforts with economic benefits for local economies. It seeks to maintain the competitiveness of the Mexican Caribbean while promoting low-impact environmental practices. The study highlights the potential of such models in fostering sustainable development and economic growth without compromising ecological integrity.
