Lo que Dickens narra para Europa a fines del siglo XIX, ¿son hechos históricos o forman parte de una leyenda? A menudo la información de las fuentes nos plantea esta inquietud, amén de lo escrito sobre las ciudades prehispánica y colonial de Campeche. Por mas que leemos y revisamos los relatos de cronistas españoles al llegar a esta tierra, no nos despejan la duda, ni separan la leyenda de lo que realmente vieron aquellos hombres al desembarcar en ese lugar mítico: Ah Kin Pech.
Natural heritage sites and natural protected areas (NPAs) attract tourism. However, positive/negative connotations correlate visitors with such places. While they may represent benefits and opportunities for the conservation and wellbeing of local communities, they also can produce direct and indirect adverse impacts that alter and destroy ecosystems and natural resources. This collateral damage affects all parties and natural and biocultural contexts involved. Through case studies in Campeche and Mexico's southern states region, the authors argue that drafting precise management schemes for these natural heritage sites and NPAs are key factors to promoting sustainability, particularly by adding community input and true ecotourism activities into their planning strategies.
