Project description
The project will lay down the foundations of the long-term public policy regarding BD-friendly low-carbon tourism, and encouraging specific activities that demonstrate the viability of Sustainable Tourism Development models that integrate BD-conservation and CC mitigation criteria, thus ensuring long-term survival of the biodiversity and ecosystem services they provide, while contributing to the maintenance of important blue carbon sinks (wetlands, saltmarshes, mangroves, seagrasses, among others). The project would provide a cohesive legal and institutional foundation with an emphasis on active participation of the local communities and developers to generate an enduring change in the planning and management of tourism development in coastal areas and throughout Mexico.
