In an exclusive interview with Carlos Mendoza Davis, Governor of Baja California Sur from the International tourism fair FITUR 2020, he commented on the work accomplished during this important International Fair.

Well, for the first time I as governor if, however, Baja California Sur in all the years of my administration has participated very enthusiastically in these jobs because they are so important for the tourism sector, not only of the country, but of the world, without The most important tourist services fair in the Spanish-speaking world and Baja California Sur doubts that it must necessarily be present.

Without a doubt, well first of all yesterday we had a very interesting dinner with his majesty, King Felipe who organized the world tourism organization, depending on whether the 40th anniversary of this fair is celebrated or celebrated and of course we have to show Baja California Sur what we have been doing to grow tourism, not only our strengths, our infrastructure and our natural beauty, but also how we have done to ensure that it is preserved and that we can inherit an environmental heritage to our children, so that they can continue enjoying them and also of course those who visit us, I think that in Baja California Sur in that sense we are on the right track and convinced that tourism is our development path.

Undoubtedly, there are those who say that we are the jewel of the crown in Mexico in terms of tourism, and of course we are convinced that this is the route we must follow, the growth we have achieved, the employment that has been achieved generated, the decrease in the levels of poverty that the State has had in a sustained way, because it makes us think that this is the bet that we must follow and that this is where we should develop.

Precisely because Baja California Sur is an interesting example in terms of sustainability but also in terms of development, as we have made tourism the machine, the locomotive that pulls our economy, is that they have invited us to participate in a very interesting forum, where we have to talk about what we have done and contrast our experiences with other people, in addition to that we have several meetings with airlines, we are looking to take if possible more flights from Europe to Baja California Sur with tourism developers, with hotel builders, with intermediaries, with wholesalers, in short, we are here to seek to bring more business to Baja California Sur and that we continue to grow.

Of course, if Armando, thanks also to you for being covering this event, it is very important, I am pleased to see many actors related to Baja California Sur at this fair, and well we are going to take a lot and get the best results for our state.
