In order to minimize the impact on environmental resources that conventional sun and beach tourism has brought, Amigos de Sian Ka'an launched a promising initiative, which was born as an alternative to diversify the tourism activities in the State of Quintana Roo. This ambitious project is based on the sustainable use of the attractions of the Biosphere Reserve of Sian Ka'an and surrounding areas. Aims to link the Mayan indigenous communities to the value chain of tourism in Quintana Roo and maintain the competitiveness of the Mexican Caribbean. Maya Ka'an Destination is consolidated thanks to the collective vision of the different sectors in favor of conservation and sustainable development, while remaining at the same time profitable for local economies.
