Should the government allow private tourism developments inside national parks and protected reserves?

Concessions in protected zones like Coiba National Park and Volcán Barú frequently spark intense debate between developers and environmentalists. While the government seeks to monetize these assets through 'green' tourism, critics fear the irreversible destruction of Panama's unique biodiversity. A proponent believes private investment is necessary to fund and maintain park infrastructure. An opponent believes these lands are public sanctuaries that should remain free from commercial exploitation.
