SUSTENTABILIDAD
Sustainable tourism represents a new mindset that implies addressing the environmental and social impact created by tourism.
To value local traditions and customs.
Before traveling, check the local customs and traditions of the places you plan to visit (folk festivals, anniversaries, holidays, etc.) so that you can share, participate, and become part of the community.
Learn a few words in the local language; this will allow you to establish meaningful contact with the local community.
Respect and protect everything that makes a destination unique and different, such as its history, architecture, and culture, expressed in its religion, music, art, food, and cuisine, among other expressions. Ask for consent when taking photographs of local people.
To support the local economy.
Choose locally made crafts and products, which contributes to the economic development of family businesses, small retail shops, and small producers of goods and services.
Treat local vendors and artisans with respect and kindness, and promote fair trade relations between producers and consumers
Do not buy products that are obviously counterfeit or that are prohibited by national and international regulations.
When booking tours, always choose established providers to avoid scams and deception. Prefer tourism services that are operated by residents of the community or destination.
Find out about the products that are legally restricted from entering or exiting the country you are visiti
To respect the environment.
Do not buy products made from endangered plants or animals.
Choose group excursions that allow for a better use of resources, generating savings in money, fuel, and carbon footprint. Look for the most efficient and clean transport option.
Reduce, reuse, and recycle solid waste during your trip. Bring your own reusable water bottle, avoid buying products with unnecessary packaging, and refuse plastic bags when purchasing goods.
Reduce your water and electricity consumption at accommodation establishments (ask to use your towels and sheets for more than one day, and remember to turn off the lights, heating, and air conditioning when leaving the room).
Be careful when visiting wilderness, heritage, archaeological, or other areas that appear fragile and/or valuable.
Collect and return with the trash generated during your visit to these areas, including organics, as otherwise it could harm the diet of native wildlife, pollute the landscape, and affect other visitors.
Choose the routes that cause the least impact on the environment, favoring existing roads and trails. Choose guided tours, avoiding accidents and reducing erosion and compacting of the soil in the vulnerable areas while contributing to local jobs.

Follow the signs and directions provided by the existing communities in the area. This will allow for a safer visit for you, your family, and the environment.

Contribute to the maintenance of the infrastructure and equipment of the protected area by paying the requested entrance fee and properly using the facilities and infrastructure.
