Tulum, Quintana Roo — Federal authorities have agreed to review whether the private events and ceremonies currently staged inside Tulum National Park comply with the protected area’s management plan.
The decision came during a meeting between the Tulum Hotel Association, headed by David Ortiz Mena, and Pedro Álvarez Icaza-Longoria, the head of the National Commission of Protected Natural Areas (Conanp). Officials also discussed maintaining joint work with the Environment Ministry (Semarnat), the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (Profepa) and the National Water Commission (Conagua) through the park’s advisory council.
The two sides described the meeting as an important step toward clarifying the needs of the hotel industry in the area while keeping tourism orderly and compatible with conservation of the park.
“From the Tulum Hotel Association we reiterate our commitment to continue building bridges of dialogue between our members and the authorities, promoting coordinated solutions to the sector’s challenges and consolidating a sustainable, competitive tourism industry that respects ecosystems,” Ortiz Mena said afterward.
