Abstract

As Mexico navigates the multiple crises that characterise today’s world, short-term post-crisis revival of economic bottom-lines needn’t override long-term policy responses (strategic plans) for recovery and rebuilding sustainable and resilient tourism for the future. Based on stakeholder input and site visits, as well as an evaluation of the destination’s policies and practices against the GSTC Criteria for Destinations, this study identifies high priority risk areas that are undermining the country’s socioeconomic and environmental sustainability and resilience. Among the most critical high-risk areas according to the stakeholders’ priority are: 1. Overtourism and environmental degradation, 2. Lack of inclusive and well funded (local government-level) destination management organizations (DMOs), 3. Limited opportunities for local communities, 4. Liquid and solid waste management problems, 5. Climate change vulnerability and energy conservation.
