The Role of Sustainability in the Implementation of Tourism Projects as a Conservation Strategy of the Sierra Patlachique ANP, Case Cuevas de la amistad

Sustainability today has taken on great importance in many aspects of our daily lives, due to the need to conserve and avoid the depletion of our resources. The term 'sustainability' first appeared in the Brundtland Report (1987) in response to the need to moderate our consumption of resources, which was getting out of hand. It refers to the capacity of the environment to provide us with resources so that we can consume them, while at the same time avoiding exhausting them to meet our daily needs and, above all, the needs of future generations. In this article, we will address how the natural resources of the ecotourism park 'Cuevas de la Amistad', located in the community of San Miguel Xometla, Acolman, State of Mexico, have been utilized. As this ecotourism park is the main tourist resource of this community and is part of the Protected Natural Area of the Sierra Patlachique State Park, we seek to know if sustainability has been applied to it, how the components of this important resource are maintained, and how it has impacted the environment and rural areas. We will analyze whether there are sustainable development structures at the site.
