“Our two main beach destinations for cruises: Topolobampo and Mazatlan are still the favorites of cruise ships, so you have to keep doing things right, work hand in hand with the US consulate, he said

The state official announced that the number of tourists in Sinaloa increased 10 percent compared to last year.

This is due to different programs and activities that were implemented during 2019. 

State Tourism Development Plan

Pérez Barros said that in the State Tourism Development Plan, the main objective is to pass each year over the 4 million tourists who arrive in the state.

Previous periods, this figure had not been exceeded, however, this year will be achieved.

This increase may also be linked to the increase in cruise arrivals, public and private investments in the state, he stated.

Regarding the program of Traveling Puro Sinaloa, the secretary said that approximately 3 million pesos of economic spill have been generated in the state.

We are doing very well, we carry more than 3 million pesos of economic spill.

He added that this weekend will exceed 70 trips made in Sinaloa.

He noted that although that was a program that was planned to be temporary, it will remain a permanent project.

The truth is a program that the Sinaloans adopted and have made it their own, they tell me ‘please, secretary, tell the governor not to remove it’.

He said he stayed during December because it increases the number of foreign visitors who are interested in participating in the project.

Many people come from outside, from Los Angeles, New York, who come with their families and who are enjoying this program.
