“Quintana Roo’s Sustainable Tourism Vision Unveiled at Climate Forum”

Quintana Roo, a state in Mexico, is prioritizing environmental conservation, particularly in light of the climate change affecting the region. The state secretary of Tourism, Bernardo Cueto, underlined the importance of preserving ecosystems, especially coastal areas, as part of the state's sustainable tourism plan.

Cueto stated, "Quintana Roo is entering a new era. We have become a national and international benchmark due to our long-term approach." His comments were made during the Third Climate Action Forum in the Mexican Caribbean, an event organized by the state's tourism department and other agencies.

Benito Moran, a biologist heading the Undersecretary of Environmental Management and Protection office, emphasized that the forum aims to encourage the sharing of experiences and the application of best practices to collectively address climate change. Moran said, "This is a priceless opportunity to work on mitigating the effects. We know that only through collaboration can we ensure a sustainable future for the Mexican Caribbean and the planet."

The forum will feature discussions and workshops on the sustainable tourism master plan, as well as the presentation of a coastal dune restoration project in Quintana Roo. Additionally, there will be a panel discussing the private sector's progress in implementing coastal dune restoration actions.
