Ecotourism Development in Quintana Roo
by Natasha Ward
This study analyzes the tourist industry in Mexico, looking at the potential
and suitability of ecotourism in the state of Quintana Roo. Specific ecotourism
projects are assessed to prove that whilst some projects claiming to be
ecotourism go part way to offering a moresustainable alternative
(environmentally, socially and economically), the prefix 'eco' has been given
away all too easily. The research will show that ecotourism does not achieve
all it may claim to, and in fact may create more problems than possible
benefits.
