The Maya are gradually getting into eco-tourism projects which brings many types of services for communities and tourists. This is a new venture for the Mayas. Two major services which are in need are efficient health services and secondary education. The only hospital in the region is remote for the people. People have to travel for several hours to Punta Gorda Town to see a doctor.
Students have to attend high school away from their village.
The only high school is situated in Punta Gorda Town. In addition to this is the need for electricity in places.
