The purpose of the reform is to establish a mandatory public registry for certified providers in Quintana Roo, Mexico. This registry will allow travel experts and tourists to verify that these providers meet all necessary legal and regulatory standards.
The key point to remember is that if a provider is not listed in the registry, it is advisable for tourists to avoid using their services.
