She referred that during 2024, the Sectur will continue working to increase the number of frequencies of cruises to the state, as well as to look for these to have a greater number of passengers so that the economic spill that they leave in the destination generates a benefit for the whole community, as requested by the governor Rubén Rocha Moya, that tourism be a factor of social benefit.
