Ativistas manifestam preocupação com projeto da Royal Caribbean em Cozumel

Ativistas e moradores de Cozumel denunciam que o projeto Royal Beach Club Cozumel, da Royal Caribbean, busca privatizar a última praia pública do lado oeste da ilha.

Após a rejeição do projeto Perfect Day em Mahahual pela Semarnat em 19 de maio, ativistas lançaram um abaixo-assinado no Change.org que reuniu mais de 36.000 assinaturas. A petição afirma que o novo clube de praia na Zona Hotelera Sur ameaça o acesso livre à Playa Mía e prejudicará as empresas locais. A Royal Caribbean informou que o projeto contará com piscinas e restaurantes para os passageiros de cruzeiros. A empresa declarou que o acesso atual permanecerá aberto e que a construção só começará após a obtenção de todas as licenças ambientais. Ari Adler Brotman, presidente da Royal Caribbean México, afirmou que o objetivo é garantir o acesso à praia para todos, de acordo com a lei mexicana.
