Huatulco Ecotourism Travel Development Plans - After 19080, FONATUR (known as el "Fondo Nacional de Turismo" de Mexico), a government agency dedicated to the development of tourism in Mexico, acquired 21,000 hectares of land to develop a tourism center, similar to that in Cancun. The existing population was relocated to Santa María Huatulco. The plan resulted in a great improvement of roads. It also had populated areas interspersed with "green zones" to make the area more ecologically-minded. In fact, Huatulco is one of the cleanest and grrenist developments plans in Mexico. In addition to the beaches, one can explore and shop in the small communities of Huatulco, such as Santa Cruz, La Crucecita, or old Santa María Huatulco (the municipal seat). When doing so, one can travel between the communities by local buses or taxis. The area known as Huatulco has a "small town" feel and is rarely ever crowded with tourists. |
