Los Cabos consolidates its position as the third most popular beach destination in Mexico, surpassing Cancun and Puerto Vallarta
A recent report from the Mexican Ministry of Tourism (SECTUR) reveals that Los Cabos has strengthened its place among the most popular beach destinations in the country, ranking third in terms of hotel occupancy during the first seven months of 2024. The monitoring, carried out by the DataTur system, shows that Los Cabos reached an average hotel occupancy of 80.3%, surpassing important destinations such as Cancun (77.2%) and Puerto Vallarta (73.9%).
Between January and July 2024, hotel occupancy in the monitored beach destinations averaged 68.3%, while in the cities it was 52.8%, according to the DataTur report. Overall, the average hotel occupancy nationwide was 60.2% in this period, reflecting a gradual recovery of tourism after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Compared to the same period in 2023, there was an increase of 0.7 percentage points in hotel occupancy in cities, which denotes stability in the country's tourism growth.
Although Playacar (89%) and Akumal (81.6%) occupied the top positions in hotel occupancy in beach destinations, Los Cabos has managed to position itself above other iconic destinations, such as Cancun and Puerto Vallarta, standing out for its diverse tourist offer and its growing popularity both in the national and international markets.
The growth of Los Cabos as a luxury destination is due to multiple factors, such as its high-end hotel infrastructure, security and its diverse offer of tourist activities, including golf, sport fishing, ecotourism and first-class gastronomy. In addition, the international promotion of the destination and its air connectivity with cities in the United States, Canada and Europe have contributed to the increase in visitors.
Tourism is a key pillar in the economy of Los Cabos. According to the Mexican Tourism Promotion Council (CPTM), tourism revenues in the region have experienced constant growth in recent years, boosting demand for local services and generating more jobs in related sectors, such as transportation and recreational activities.
With its constantly expanding infrastructure and the arrival of new luxury resorts, Los Cabos continues to consolidate itself as a strategic destination in the Mexican tourism landscape, offering a complete experience that attracts tourists from around the world.
