The Project’s Environmental and Social Risk Classification is Moderate.

Early Warning System Project Analysis
For a project with severe or irreversible impacts to local community and natural resources, the Early Warning System Team may conduct a thorough analysis regarding its potential impacts to human and environmental rights.

The Project is designed to deal with both immediate COVID-19 responses and longer-term recovery and competitive positioning of selected destinations in an integrated way. A phased approach will be used, in which short-term development will focus on domestic tourism, and medium- and long-term development will focus on mobilizing key public investments, attracting private sector investment, and increasing value from international tourism. Both phases will be supported by institutional strengthening to build a competitive, sustainable, and resilient tourism sector. Additional support for regulatory reforms and the mobilization of private investment will be delivered through a parallel IFC advisory project that supports the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Ministerio de Comercio Exterior y Turismo, MINCETUR)
to develop targeted investor outreach, promotion, facilitation, tracking and aftercare programs. This may be paired with
direct support to private investments by IFC, where appropriate. Components:

Component 1. COVID-19 short-term tourism recovery program

Component 2. Support for medium-term tourism diversification, competitiveness and sustainability

Component 3. Strengthening business environment and institutional capacity and project management ($15m)

Contact Information
This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF THE WORLD BANK

 

The World Bank Inspection Panel is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by a World Bank-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the Inspection Panel, they may investigate to assess whether the World Bank is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. You can contact the Inspection Panel or submit a complaint by emailing ipanel@worldbank.org. Information on how to file a complaint and a complaint request form are available at: https://www.inspectionpanel.org/how-to-file-complaint.
