Circular Economy

The engine of community defense

Community tourism is the circular economy in action: every experience generates direct income for those who have historically lived, worked and protected the coast.

  • Local hosts
  • Respect for biodiversity
  • Responsible consumption
  • Conservation of natural spaces

The tourism that saves the beach

Batalla por la Playa is born from the conviction that tourism development must benefit the communities that have historically lived, worked and protected the coast. Community tourism, conservation and defense of the territory.

An initiative linked with community defenders of the beaches of Nayarit, with proposed accompaniment from Santuario Ajolote – CIMA A.C.
