DURANGO. – “Los papaquis” came to the city of Durango announcing the arrival of the Mazatlan International Carnival, to attract the attention of this sister city of the “Pearl of the Pacific”.

Ricardo Velarde Cárdenas, Secretary of Economic Development, Tourism and Fisheries of Mazatlán, said that Durango is one of the cities that visit the most Mazatlán and that this has been part of the promotion of events between both cities.

“Carnival was the first thermometer we had, the decision was made to open it (2022) and we surpassed it with an 18 percent increase compared to 2020, we are waiting for this 2023 to exceed that goal, where there was an economical spill of 750 million pesos”, said Velarde Cardenas.
