Cancun, Q.R. — President Claudia Sheinbaum has hinted at a “very large investment” announcement for the city of Cancun. During her Monday morning press conference, Sheinbaum said a meeting has been set with businessmen from a cruise company interested in the Cancun area.
According to Sheinbaum, the investment meeting is scheduled for Tuesday. She did not provide any details surrounding the meeting or the investment, but did say information would be released sometime Tuesday.
“One of the investments that will be announced Tuesday is from a cruise company that wants to make a very large investment, specifically in the area of Cancun,” she reported Monday.
In her morning press conference, she also denied reports that the promotion of tourist destinations in Quintana Roo is not going well.
“We are not going to return to the scheme where, during the period before President López Obrador, tourism was about promoting tourism where many millions of pesos were allocated to some media outlets and where in reality there was a lot of corruption.
“There are other forms of tourism promotion that we will be reporting on,” she said without elaborating.
She did comment on the Maya Train, saying that is “is working well” and that the missing section will be finished since “the Maya Train itself will be a very important source of tourism for the southeast of Mexico.”
On Tuesday, Sheinbaum is scheduled to meet with national and foreign investors, managed by the head of the Economy, Marcelo Ebrard, with particular interest from American companies looking to settle in Mexico.
