Mexico City — Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum emphasized during her morning press conference on December 1 that heritage sites belong to the nation and reaffirmed her commitment to coordinate efforts with local authorities to implement a territorial planning plan in Tulum, an area facing rapid development driven by strategic projects such as the new international airport.
The president stated that, together with the state government and the municipality, work is underway on territorial planning in response to Tulum’s accelerated growth and the operation of the new airport, aiming to ensure sustainable development and better urban organization.
Regarding Tulum, Sheinbaum noted that the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) maintains dialogue with communities and reiterated that spaces with signage for free access to beaches have already been enabled, in addition to defined days for free entry to the park, such as Sundays.
It should be recalled that there is a proposal presented in Congress to guarantee free access to protected natural areas once a week.
Freight Train
Sheinbaum visited Quintana Roo this past weekend to supervise progress on key works such as the Maya Train and review regulations in heritage spaces. Therefore, in today’s conference, she mentioned measures to prevent irregular charges and strengthen the protection of historical sites.
Consequently, she highlighted the importance of the freight train for reducing regional logistical costs, explaining that during her visit she noticed that gasoline is more expensive in the state, and Pemex informed her that this is due to fuel transportation costs.
