Beyond the presence of tourism in hotel rooms, the event generates the diffusion of the destination on the national and international television network

Hotel businessmen from the beach binomial applauded the state government’s decision to resume the Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo Triathlon in May of this year since they affirm that it is an event that will help them a lot in economic benefit.

Beyond the presence of tourism in hotel rooms, the event generates the diffusion of the destination on the national and international television network, which could replicate the arrival of more visitors in subsequent months.

The President of the Mexican Association of Hotels and Motels of Zihuatanejo, Rogelio Lozano Calderón stated that they are very happy and have good expectations, taking into account that Easter was not what they expected.

He did not doubt that the authorities and tourism service providers, in general, will take the corresponding health measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 infections.

For his part, the President of Hoteleros Asociados de Zihuatanejo, Jonathan Morales Moreno, said that the gains will surely be reflected in all commerce in general.

He ruled out that so far they have not made the call for the organization of the sports fair, and hopes it can be done as soon as possible so that everyone participates without problems, also, he trusted that tourism events continue to increase.
