Nature-based tourism can be a double-edged sword, but when done right, it becomes one of the most powerful tools for protecting ecosystems and the species that inhabit them. When properly managed, it not only educates and raises awareness among those who participate in it, but also generates direct income for conservation, creates decent jobs, and offers sustainable economic alternatives for people who have historically depended on the sea and nature for their livelihoods.

When tourism grows without rules or planning, it can become harmful and cause irreversible damage and impacts. For this reason, FOMARES will work hand in hand with environmental authorities and civil society organizations to develop a government-endorsed nature-based tourism guide that promotes best practices, respect for ecosystems, and the protection of natural heritage.

This guide will be accompanied by training programs aimed at tourism operators across the country and fishers who wish to transition toward new economic activities. In this way, tourism becomes an ally of conservation while empowering communities, strengthening local economies, and ensuring that nature protection goes hand in hand with the well-being of those who live in and care for it.
