“This approval of sanitary certification will benefit, in addition to attracting tourists, to the region as they are considered safe destinations for the traveler, to the providers of tourist services that by their nature require operating in both states, as they will have the recognition of tourist health certificates of Quintana Roo and Yucatan, just by obtaining one of the certifications that these entities offer ”, he assured.

To formalize these agreements, both destinations will sign a four-axis collaboration agreement: development and integration of tourism products based on the natural and cultural wealth of each entity; generate joint efforts for tourism promotion; promote the development and technological exchange that allow updating the certificates of good tourist sanitary practices, being at the forefront with the changes in protocols established by the Ministry of Health, and promoting training, certification and professionalization programs of the value chain.

Importance

Michelle Fridman, Secretary of Tourism Promotion of Yucatan, commented that the certifications of both states are of great importance for travelers, given that tourists do not plan a trip taking into account the geopolitical divisions between them, but the region, “that is why it was created the concept of the Yucatan Peninsula, so that without removing the individuality of each state we can generate promotion strategies, connectivity, training and, of course, approved health certifications ”.

Marisol Vanegas reported that in addition to complementing health protocols with Yucatan, “we share the international recognition of the WTTC, in order to increase the safety and confidence of the traveler, as well as the certainty of tourism companies that already have the protocol of health protection and prevention. We are consolidating the region as a favorite destination worldwide ”.
