To commemorate the International Day Against Climate Change 2020, Bahia Principe Riviera Maya Resort and Eco-Bahia planted over 800 native species, helping to offset their carbon footprint and promote biodiversity in the hotel surroundings.

The species planted include Palma Nacax (Coccothrinax readii), Palma Chit (Thrinax radiata), Palma Kuka (Pseudophoenix sargentii), Despeinada (Beaucarnea pliabilis), and Black Guaiac (Guaiacum officinale), strengthening local ecosystems and reinforcing Grupo Piñero’s environmental commitment.

Antonia del Toro, Corporate Responsibility Director of Grupo Piñero, highlighted that rising global temperatures, pollution, and extreme weather events reinforce the importance of taking measures to protect the environment. Grupo Piñero implements an innovative, sustainable management model focused on decarbonization, energy efficiency, optimal resource use, and biodiversity promotion.

The Bahia Principe Grand Tulum in Riviera Maya will reopen on November 15 after a full renovation, incorporating these sustainability strategies and strengthening its environmental commitment.

“Every day, the planet sends us messages about the effects of climate change and how they affect everyone. One of our foundation’s goals is to promote environmental education, prevention, and local action,” said Katia Cordourier, director of Eco-Bahia.

These educational activities and the planting of native species reflect the joint commitment of Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts and the Eco-Bahia foundation to promote sustainability, protect local ecosystems, and raise awareness about climate change.
