The VIP SUMMIT is coming, Rodrigo Esponda tells us how it will be carried out
Rodrigo Esponda, general director of FITURCA, mentioned in an interview for Los Cabos a la Carta that the reactivation of the Los Cabos economy is on the rise, with the return of the Meetings Industry events to the destination.
“We closed September with positive numbers, the recovery of the total tourist flow to Los Cabos as of September is 70%,” said the director of FUTURCA, explaining that travelers are at 70% of last year’s occupancy.
The national market, for its part, is in a recovery of 80% while the international market in tourism is already at 60%, although there will be new dynamics such as private aviation, a sector of great relevance due to the fact that arrivals have increased to 85%, which means a great opportunity for recovery in arrivals at the destination in the coming months.
“In recent times there has been interest even from very relevant brands that are seeking to come to the destination and are seeing that things are being done well and with mixed luxury development projects” said Rodrigo Esponda regarding the new sector that visits us. In his words, he said that it is a sector with greater purchasing power that has visited us since the opening of the destination after the pandemic, also mentioning that real estate further drives the value of this destination, as there is more investment.
New York represents a high level, for example, as flights increased by American Airlines on a daily basis, Eastern twice a week and United 9 times a week in direct flights for the winter season, generating more than 4,000 thousand weekly flights.
Finally, Rodrigo Esponda reported that the VIP SUMMIT, a great event that brings together the most important representatives of the tourism industry, will be held virtually on an agile platform that will allow the sessions to be held, as well as a showroom with all the main commercial partners, explaining that this time there will be greater participation, since the connection facilities are greater.
The third day of this event will be dedicated to travel agents who want to interact with the tourist chains of the destination, with more than 1000 travel agents already participating, plus the seventy travel agency companies.
