As part of a broader GEF biodiversity project, James Dobbin has been leading a new approach to tourism of the Sabana-Camaguey Ecosystem region in Cuba. At a site-specific scale, we assist resort developers in preparing land and marine use zoning plans that ensure protection of key natural assets and provide opportunities to develop in the correct places in more sustainable manner. Almost all of Dobbin Planning Group's work in ICM and IRD planning involves the tourism sector.
