Cozumel, an island in Mexico, is leading the way in sustainable tourism because of its beautiful beaches, abundant marine life, and clear waterways. Local companies and environmental organizations are putting more effort into developing responsible tourism practices that balance economic growth and ecological preservation as the number of visitors expands.

The Stingray Villa, a boutique hotel in central Cozumel, recently introduced an impressive environmental conservation program. This program shows how sustainability may be easily incorporated into the tourism business. As part of this program, the hotel has reorganized its operations to reduce its ecological impact, setting a new standard for sustainable hospitality in the area.
