Fundacion Haciendas del Mundo Maya

Fundación Haciendas del Mundo Maya began in 1990 as a small business project that focused on implementing sustainable tourism, boosting the regional economy, and preserving Mayan culture. In 2002, FHMM was created with the purpose of propelling development opportunities and administering local inhabitants as advocates for their own projects. The vision of FHMM is to better the quality of life for partnered Mayan communities and to do so in a way that protects Mayan culture and the environment. Its purpose is to work with these allied communities and local businesses and to use sustainable tourism as a means to bring about community collaboration and development. FHMM recognizes that their partnered communities thrive when they are independent, sustainable, and respectful of nature and their Mayan heritage. The goal of Fundación Haciendas del Mundo Maya is to help these entities flourish and, since its formation over a decade ago, it has expanded its activity throughout the states of Yucatán, Campeche and Quintana Roo. FHMM wholeheartedly implements SAVE’s theme of Education by connecting travelers with cooking classes, art and craft workshops, and cultural experiences that are provided by local Campeche communities, with the vision of bringing international awareness to this region of Mexico.
