| Descripción: | In 1996, the space was declared Natural Protected Area (ANP) and in the year 2000, was determined as Cozumel Reefs National Park (PNAC). Since its creation, there were already tourist services in its area of influence, which have increased over the years. The methodology consisted in the review of literature related to the topic, five workshops with service providers and cooperative members, twelve interviews to key informants, four tours in the study zone and at the same time in the area of influence for georeferenced data lifting and filling observation sheets. The objective was to reveal the territorial organization and the tourist use in the PNAC. Among the results, was found a strong intensity of recreational tourist activities in the reef areas of the PNAC. The highlights are the strengths, opportunities, weakness, and threats in the PNAC. As proposal for the organization of the territory, the establishment of functional units and modes for the best use of resources in the ANP, is emphasized an incompatibility between the zoning of the management program in place, with the concentration of recreational tourist activities practiced in the area. |
