The manager stressed that they not only seek to attract more visitors, but also to ensure that they stay longer and generate greater benefits for the community in the region. “There are great product options that we are integrating into tours and itineraries so that the European visitor can stay 14 days or more in the region.

Rodrigo Esponda pointed out that last year the destination received 3.85 million visitors, which represented an increase of 9% compared to the previous year, while by 2024 they expect to receive 4.2 million tourists, which means an increase of 7%. , of which 2.5 million would be from the United States; 1.7 million from Mexico; 200,000 from Canada and the rest from emerging markets, such as Germany and other European countries.

“Our focus is not on quantity, but on quality. We have 95% satisfaction from the tourists who visited us in 2023, and we want to continue like this, even improve. We will continue to offer the best quality to visitors, because travelers expect that from Los Cabos: higher quality of service, that is our differentiator,” EspondaCascajares concluded.
