During the Easter holiday period, Mazatlán experienced a tourist influx of over 800,000 people, generating an economic impact of more than 2 billion pesos and an average hotel occupancy rate of over 80 percent, stated Mayor Estrella Palacios Domínguez.
“Motorcycle Week and Easter Week concluded successfully. Mazatlán delivered. The Easter Week and Motorcycle Week Operation closed with very positive results. Combining the two weeks, we had a hotel occupancy rate of over 80 percent, and more than 800,000 people visited our port, attending events and visiting the beaches,” she added.
“I would also like to mention that during these two weeks we received six cruise ships, bringing more than 23,736 passengers. The cruise segment alone generated an economic impact of 35.6 million pesos. Overall, the economic impact for both weeks was very strong, exceeding 2 billion pesos.”
In an interview this Monday, he added that these numbers demonstrate the city’s ability to welcome, serve, and respond to visitors. He recognized every member of the security force at all three levels of government, Civil Protection, lifeguards, and Municipal Services who worked tirelessly during these two weeks to ensure that hundreds of thousands of tourists could enjoy Mazatlán with peace of mind, as they never rest so that others can enjoy their experience.
“Mazatlán continues to be one of the strongest tourist destinations in the country. Now it’s up to us to maintain that level, to continue working on security, infrastructure, and services to positively improve all aspects of our city and honor these very positive results we had during the holiday season,” he continued.
“What’s next is for the following operation to be even better and find us better prepared.”
He also announced that a security operation was conducted during Motorcycle Week, the results of which were shared on social media. He emphasized that the priority for the municipality is to maintain a proactive and community-oriented approach to security.
“In that regard, I want to tell you that we were very attentive to any report, always acting responsibly. There were arrests; we were very active, and I thank all the colleagues who worked these past two weeks so that we could achieve these positive results for Mazatlán,” he reiterated after leaving the Regional Security and Peacebuilding Roundtable.
“What’s next for Mazatlán? I want to tell you that we will be very attentive during the upcoming seasons because we have a very important long weekend coming up at the beginning of May. We’ll be there right now, planning so that Mazatlán continues to do better and better.”
