Unsustainable Tourism

Through Malcon’s Dive Shop, this project aims to promote responsible diving tourism in Providencia and Santa Catalina by offering environmentally conscious visitors a respectful and low-impact experience of the marine ecosystem. The initiative focuses on attracting quality tourism rather than mass tourism, prioritizing visitors who are sensitive to environmental protection. By strengthening a reef-positive business model, the project contributes to the conservation, restoration, recovery, and sustainable use of coral reef ecosystems, while reinforcing the sustainable tourism value chain in the islands.
