Quintana Roo holds first place at the national level when it comes to investment attraction.
Royal Caribbean Group announced a multimillion-dollar investment in Mahahual for the redevelopment of this cruise destination in the southern end of the state.
“With 1.7 billion US dollars of investment announced in different tourism projects, just this month, Quintana Roo is positioned at the top of the list in attracting investments in Mexico,” highlighted by state and federal authorities.
On October 9, the Royal Caribbean Group announced an initial investment of 600 million US dollars in Mahahual for the redevelopment of this cruise destination in a responsible, sustainable, environmentally friendly, and community-managed model.
The next day, on October 10, Ritz Carlton Punta Nizuc Cancun launched an investment of 400 million US dollars in this new development that will generate more direct, indirect, and permanent jobs, for the well-being of thousands of families.
Meanwhile, the main amusement park in the Mexican Caribbean announced a new phase of its hotels, with 700 million US dollars in new infrastructure, with a multigenerational proposal strengthened and designed to provide exceptional experiences to guests of all ages.
“This announcement is very important because it is the result of the confidence of investors in the construction of the second floor of the Fourth Transformation, that second floor that is being built with the help of President Claudia Sheinbaum, a president who listens, a president who opens the doors and a president who says, of course, always yes to the investment,” said Quintana Roo Governor Mara Lezama.
For her part, Secretary Josefina Rodríguez Zamora stated that this investment “is an example of this confidence towards the federal government but above all towards Quintana Roo. In this place and at this moment we are or are announcing the largest investment that Mexico has today in tourism and as well as Quintana Roo.”
She recalled that a few days ago, President Claudia Sheinbaum thanked other groups that are investing in Quintana Roo for their trust, such as Royal Caribe, which announced an investment of 600 million dollars. “That means, it is the fruit and the result of the work of an entire group in the tourism sector,” she said.
“Tourism, in addition to being an activity that has the benefit of generating jobs, foreign currency, investments and rapprochement between peoples and nations, is a powerful tool that, if we know how to direct it intelligently, responsibly, contributes to achieving a balance between economic development and the conservation and protection of biodiversity,” she added.
Likewise, she highlighted the importance of community tourism for the current administration, with the aim that the benefits of tourism activity permeate all resident communities and Indigenous peoples, and shared that four priority axes have been drawn up: Sustainable Development, Production of Destinations, Strengthening of Magical Towns, Social Inclusion and Regional Development.
