Regenerative Tourism

Coastal Reforestation

With an estimated market value of $1 trillion annually, tourism is positioning itself as a mutually beneficial partner for small farmers and local forest agriculture.

Nestled between coastal deciduous forest, a vibrant saline estuary, and the remnants of a wild landscape of huizache, prickly pear, introduced palm, and mango, Musa's ecology exists between worlds. Officially opened in 2022, this magnetic paradise not only invites visitors to live in wild symbiosis with the ecologies it inhabits, but also to contribute to their revitalization and vitality. With a first prototype plantation of biomass and native fruit species in 2023, the Musa agroforestry project is currently propagating an impressive orchestra of edible, medicinal, and ecological plants that seek to both revitalize and reinvent its forest.

By working with local species to increase soil water and hyphal capacity, while simultaneously planting a multi-layered edible forest of local and adaptive tropical fruits, roots, and forages, the project is quickly becoming a destination not only for “land and sea lovers” but also for botanical tourists interested in exchanging ideas about adaptation across borders and ecologies.

Imagine if just 1% of projects followed this bold example and incorporated climate design and adaptive forest ecologies into the DNA of their land developments #landuse #landusechange. Regenerative Tourism has a bright and influential future.

We wish the Musa team the best and are delighted to be part of this evolving project.
