Activistas alertan sobre proyecto de Royal Caribbean en Cozumel

Activistas y residentes de Cozumel denuncian que el proyecto Royal Beach Club Cozumel de Royal Caribbean busca privatizar la última playa pública del lado oeste de la isla.

Después de que la Semarnat rechazara el proyecto Perfect Day en Mahahual el 19 de mayo, activistas presentaron una petición en Change.org que reúne más de 36 mil firmas.
La petición afirma que el nuevo club de playa en la Zona Hotelera Sur amenaza el acceso libre a Playa Mía y afectará negocios locales.
Royal Caribbean indicó que el proyecto incluye albercas y restaurantes para pasajeros de cruceros.
La empresa aseguró que mantendrá el acceso actual abierto y que la construcción comenzará solo tras obtener todos los permisos ambientales.
Ari Adler Brotman, presidente de Royal Caribbean México, declaró que el objetivo es garantizar el acceso a la playa para todos conforme a la ley mexicana.
