The economic reopening does not only depend on opening the hotels, explains Mauricio Salicrup, president of the Board of Directors of the Los Cabos Hotel Association (AHLC) live for Los Cabos a la Carta, confirming that the reactivation will be slower than the expected.

"We must manage demand in a difficult context because we know that our primary markets are also stationary so we know that the recovery will be slow but we are optimistic," says the president, also commenting that they have received data directly from the open lines that indicate that the recovery It has been more consistent than other beach destinations that have opened their doors before and after Los Cabos.

Regarding the decision of the State Government to close the beaches of La Paz and the controversy that this represents for the expected economic recovery of the municipality, he believes that there should be congruence between opening the destination and closing the beaches.
