Víctor Vladimir Ramírez del Ángel, general manager of the Mazatlán International Airport, expressed that the idea of increasing frequencies and air routes is a wish of the Ministry of Tourism and municipal authorities, however, this stems from the behavior of the pandemic globally and the opening of routes with its borders.
“It depends a lot on the sense that they give to the monitoring of Covid-19 worldwide, the advantage is that today, countries have been flexible … that facilitates mobility in all means of transport, I believe that from now there may be fewer restrictions and more mobility but it also depends a lot on the decisions made by the health authorities ”, he added.

The president of the National Chamber of the Restaurant Industry and Spiced Food of Mazatlán added that gastronomy has also helped to position itself as a gastronomic destination above Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta because in addition to having good restaurants and carts, it is a fishing port that keeps up with the product.
