Mexico is enhancing its tourism infrastructure by increasing air connectivity to Tulum, a popular destination in Quintana Roo, for the summer vacation period. The government, in collaboration with the state administration and Mexicana de Aviación, has launched a strategy to boost demand and strengthen the region's travel links.

President Claudia Sheinbaum highlighted that this effort leverages strategic national infrastructure, supports regional development, and aims to consolidate new markets. Governor Mara Lezama of Quintana Roo is spearheading a parallel strategy focused on positioning Tulum by coordinating with the Ministry of Tourism and private sector partners. The goal is to increase hotel occupancy rates, stimulate economic activity, and improve the well-being of local families.

Mexicana de Aviación will operate eight additional flights during July and August. The airline will also run a federal publicity campaign, primarily aimed at the Mexico Valley Metropolitan Area, the State of Mexico, and Hidalgo, which will continue from summer through autumn. The Quintana Roo government is supporting this campaign by providing media materials and national advertising placements across print, radio, television, internet, and social media platforms to promote flights to Chetumal and Tulum.

Further efforts to bolster tourism include a meeting scheduled for August where Governor Lezama will engage with over 300 travel agents in Mexico City. This gathering aims to strengthen the marketing and commercialization of the Mexican Caribbean as a premier travel destination.
