Awards and benefits: The boost sustainable tourism projects need
In addition to receiving public recognition, the winners of the National Awards will receive a great boost for their projects. As part of this gala, BBVA Mexico will award an economic prize to the most outstanding project of the BBVA National Sustainability Challenge, focused on the containment and use of sargassum.
The gala, which will be held under the theme "The Beauty of the Caribbean", will reflect the natural wealth and the fusion of the jungle and the sea that characterizes this region. This theme represents the essence of a tourism that appreciates and respects the natural environment, demonstrating that a balance between development and conservation is possible.
