Endless trips. Endless strips.
Sudapán is a project by Supersudaca that pretends to bring the territorial key subjects of Latin America and the Caribbean into the global contemporary agenda.
Endless(s)trips is a highly speculative international competition. It promotes the creation of scenarios for new urban models in massive tourism areas.
Endless(s)trips is a space to rethink the relations between the local means, the tourists, the environment, the touristic operators, the State, the infrastructure, the landscape. It is an opportunity to imagine other cities, other territories and other ways of conceiving the way tourism operates in the Caribbean.
The Mayan Riviera is the world’s fastest population growing zone. Estimations for the next decade, (when hotel capacity will have reached 90 000 rooms) consider that the total population along its 140 km long coastline will be superior to 1.5 milion inhabitants.
The Mexican Mayan Riviera is by its size, dynamism and complexity, an intense and urgent case of great potential; an urban laboratory on the Caribbean coast.
