CENTRAL PARK
Pérez Barros revealed that Central Park would be a site that they hope will help them achieve the overnight stay of the tourist’s vessels.
“In fact, Carnival and Royal asked us how the project is going to be, they are interested, as in other places they visit, in developing an area to climb and offer adventure, we are in talks to charter cruise passengers, take them and take them by truck to go to Los Mochis, as another alternative also for them to stay longer, “he said.
REGIONAL STRATEGIES
Around the work they seek to do in the state to promote small communities or municipalities, it was anticipated that they plan to take focused promotions.
“We want to do promotion, for example, with El Rosario, where all of Sinaloa talks about El Rosario, so we want to focus on all Sinaloans knowing about it,” the official said.
