The state government and the National Fund for Tourism Promotion (FONATUR) signed a collaboration framework agreement so that the Huatulco Integral Planned Center is strengthened and consolidated as a large-scale tourist destination with national impact.
The governor of the state, Salomón Jara Cruz, indicated that, consequently, now, FONATUR happens to be from Oaxaca.
“With this, Oaxaca follows up on the initiative of the President of the Republic, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and has once again placed itself at the forefront and today we are leading this important project to transfer comprehensive centers to state governments.”
He added that the state government also made progress in the delivery of 700 certificates of freedom from encumbrance of just over 5 thousand hectares and assumed the commitment to work in coordination, to guarantee the conservation of adequately protected natural areas, of water resources and the promotion of responsible practices in the tourism sector.
The state president maintained that with these actions and with the support of FONATUR they hope to increase the tourist vocation of the entity and the generation of employment and economic development of Oaxacans.
It should be remembered that on February 6 of this year, President López Obrador signed an agreement to convert all the FONATUR land into a nature reserve.
They comprise 66.80 hectares in Baja California, 8 thousand 64.69 hectares in Baja California Sur, 981.71 hectares in Guerrero, 5 thousand 263.18 hectares in Oaxaca, 115.79 hectares in Quintana Roo and 1,921.87 in Sinaloa.
This with the aim of protecting the flora and fauna present in these places, as well as guaranteeing that the general population can enjoy these spaces that were privatized during the neoliberal period.
For its part, the Huatulco Integrally Planned Center is part of the Sierra Madre del Sur, a mountainous region that extends to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Work began in 1985 to convert Huatulco into FONATUR’s fifth Integrally Planned Center.
The beauty of the tourist destination is a natural complex of biodiversity made up of 9 bays, slopes irrigated by the Coyula, San Agustín and Copalita rivers, the Copalita Eco-Archaeological Park, created in coordination with the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) and the Huatulco National Park declared a federal natural reserve which obtains this decree by the National Commission of Natural Areas (CONANP), offering the tourist as a whole a sustainable paradise, where activities are carried out, among which are tours in the bays and coffee farms ; adventure tourism such as rappelling, surfing, water sports, hiking, appreciation of biological, cultural and archaeological wealth.
