World Heritage Alliance...

Did you know that Mexico has 25 tourism sites declared as Humanity's Heritage (Patrimonio de la Humanidad)?
Indeed, the World Heritage Alliance has announced that Mexico is awarded as the country with the maximum quantity of Humanity's Heritage sites in western hemisphere. Besides, there are some of them suffering tourists' abuse by damaging these fantastic environments, while there are another mexican sites declared as Humanity's Heritage remaining ignored by the lack of promotion they have. That's why there are five governmental, private and international organizations working together to protect our legacy:

  • Mexican Secretary of Tourism through the Turistic Promotion Counsel.
  • World Heritage Alliance.
  • United Nations Foundation through the UNESCO.
  • Expedia Inc.
  • Friends of World Heritage Organization.

Their objective is to educate travelers and travel industry's workers about the importance of developing a responsible tourism, which is a new touristic trend : The awareness of developing responsible touristic activities based on rooted values to involve traveler whithin sustainable tourism. (At less, that's the perspective i caught from this important initiative).
