THE FUTURE OF LORETO:
The greater Loreto region is rapidly changing. Big plans are in place for the future development of coastal resorts inside the Marine Park boundary, including the continuing development of Loreto Bay in Nopolo and Loreto Paraiso, an even larger development planned north of Loreto. Another large project in Ensenada Blanca to the south has furthered the rush for a piece of Loreto, promising future benefits to the economic welfare of both native and newly arrived Loretanos. These projects have inspired and attracted capital to build even more resort developments in the surrounding areas of the municipality of Loreto and just outside of the declared protected areas of the Bay of Loreto National Park.
