Colombia?s president, Juan Manuel Santos, last week declared that his administration will not allow for the Tayrona National park on the Caribbean coast to be converted into an ecotourism resort.
In a statement to local media, Santos said that he ?will not allow environmental licensing? for the tourism companies who seek to further develop the National park, situated in the north of the Magdalena region.
The president then took to Twitter to announce that ?conservation of the park? is their top priority.
The protected territory has been the subject of a heated debate in recent weeks between tourist companies who wish to turn ?the jewell of the Colombian Caribbean? into a centre of ecotourism with seven star hotels and those who feel the need to protect and preserve the land and the rights of indigenous peoples.
