Starting this year, the AHCPMIM is developing the Sustainable Hospitality Communication Plan, highlighting the practices, certifications and activities that hotels and allied members carry out in favor of sustainable tourism, so in congruence with this plan, from this edition, we signed an alliance with Sustentur and we have measured the footprint of the event and compensated its impact, deciding between several options at the national level, the Reef Restoration Program of the Oceanus Civil Association, which carries out conservation actions for the Mesoamerican reef, for making the Cancun Travel Mart a “Carbon Neutral” event.
