PLAYA DEL CARMEN -- The Riviera Maya will host World Environment Day on June 5, 2009. The location had been in doubt following the recent swine flu outbreak in Mexico and elsewhere.
The event will take place at the Xcaret Eco Park, just a few minutes south of the resort town of Playa del Carmen. Attendees will include California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, World Wildlife Fund president Carter Roberts, renwoned entrepreneur Carlos Slim Helu and more than 400 environmental experts, business leaders, academics, governors and UN staff.
The event will be broadcast via satellite to more than 180 countries. The conference is important to Mexico because it gives a clear signal that the country is still open for business and was able to overcome the recent health emergency.
