The Secretary of Tourism, Noé Peralta Herrera, has stated that Acapulco currently has high-quality tourism, which not only comes to enjoy its charms but also to invest in the destination. In this regard, they are preparing for the days of February 10 and 12, when they will carry out promotional activities in the western part of the country to attract even more visitors.

With the arrival of a long weekend in February, Acapulco positions itself as a serious tourist destination, with national tourism representing 85% of its visitors, reflecting its importance in tourist influx. To further boost this growth, air connections with cities such as Monterrey, Guadalajara, and Tijuana are being improved, expanding opportunities for more people to discover the wonders that the port has to offer.

February 2, in celebration of Candlemas Day, marks a special moment in the renaissance of Acapulco, consolidating itself as one of the most vibrant tourist destinations in Mexico. The secret, according to Peralta Herrera, lies in effective promotion strategies and cooperation between the government and the private sector, as well as initiatives such as the tourist promotion caravans led by Mayor Abelina López Rodríguez, which have strengthened Acapulco's appeal at the national level.

The hotel sector has also contributed to this success with investments in renovations and infrastructure, improving service quality and offering high-end experiences. With hotel occupancy currently reaching 91.8%, Acapulco promises a significant economic spillover and confirms its position as one of the most popular destinations in the country. The port is more alive than ever and looks forward to welcoming those seeking sun, sea, and an unforgettable experience.
