Not many years ago the municipal authorities in turn and businessmen celebrated the tourism and real estate boom that Mazatlán began to experience. The opening of the Mazatlán-Durango highway opened the way for thousands of tourists from that region of the country to travel to the port to visit, but many of them decided to stay and acquire homes or land to build. Investments and the economic trigger of the port came in cascades with works here and there.
This excessive growth was carried out without urban planning, which had an impact on the environment. The expert on these issues, Francisco Farriols Sarabia, points out that the growth of the city has violated the natural heritage of the Mazatlecoswhich is why there is an urgent need for greater regulation in tourism and real estate activities, and above all citizen participation in defense of natural resources.
