Deputy Perla Flores proposes regulation of recreational vehicles in ecologically sensitive areas

In the state of Querétaro, Mexico, a legislative initiative has been introduced to regulate the use of off-road recreational vehicles, including motorhomes, in ecologically vulnerable areas. The proposal does not ban adventure tourism but establishes a permit system for trips where ecosystem damage may occur. The move is based on evidence of negative impacts of motorized vehicles on soil, wildlife, and acoustic environment.

Urgent call to regulate recreational vehicles on Tamaulipas beaches

Following a fatal accident at Playa La Pesca where a child died, authorities in Tamaulipas are demanding strict rules for motorized vehicles on beaches. Luis Eduardo García Reyes, executive secretary of the State Hunting and Fishing Commission, said specific perimeters must be set to separate vehicles from swimmers. He noted that speed, driver inexperience, and alcohol consumption turn recreation into tragedy. The commission joined calls for tighter inspections during weekends and holidays.
