The initiative aims to boost the local economy during the global sporting event. The program will involve 250 volunteers providing information and support to visitors throughout the alcaldía. Additionally, the office highlighted existing safety measures for visitors, including the "Puntos Violeta" network offering safe spaces and support for women experiencing violence, a nighttime brigade for reports and patrols, and special cleaning, tourist guidance, and civil protection operations.

If the world comes to Mexico, we want them to discover the heart of Mexico. And that heart is here, in Cuauhtémoc. Here, our history, our culture, our gastronomy, and some of the most emblematic spaces in this country coexist.
