The new parastatal, Grupo Aeroportuario Turístico Mexicano, seeks to boost tourism in Riviera Nayarit

-

 


By instruction of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP) authorized the constitution of the majority state-owned company Grupo Aeroportuario Turístico Mexicano, which will be able to carry out all the necessary actions to manage, operate, exploit and build the International Airport of Tepic, Nayarit.

To fulfill its functions, the new company will provide airport services, as well as obtain concessions, permits, licenses and any type of government authorization and, in general, will execute all legal acts that are essential or convenient for the management and development of the society.

From January to August, the Tepic airport was the sixth, of the 19 under the management of ASA, with the largest number of national passengers: 135,467, with operations of Volaris and Aeromar, while in international passengers it only registered the movement of 36 passengers during August, so far this year. Due to its location, it will be strategic to connect with eventual tourists who visit the new ecological park of the Islas Marías.

Mr. Andrés Manuel López Obrador, President of the United Mexican States, expressed his desire to improve the airport infrastructure "so that tourists do not have to leave only through Vallarta, but rather have this option that goes hand in hand with the development of the north from the coastal area, from the north of Nayarit, that there be an international airport here in Tepic to give more progress to the state capital.”

PERSONAL OPINION

Tourism is one of the activities with the most weight in the economy of our country and the Riviera Nayarita is precisely one of the regions with the greatest potential for tourism growth (both nationally and internationally), so having an infrastructure according to the potential development of the region is essential, in order not to waste these kind of opportunities. 

In addition, I believe this news is closely related to geography, since in some section it is mentioned that the airport project will be in a strategic location that guarantees easy access for all visitors and that minimizes their transfers from one place to another.

I have always thought that our country has beautiful landscapes and tourist centers full of magic, because even when there are some situations of insecurity happening day by day, foreigners always see Mexico as a destination. It is very important that these types of projects continue to be promoted in favor of tourism, because at the end of the day, tourism generates prosperity and economic growth in any region, and the benefits of having an airport will also applied for the people who lives in there.

Will Baja California ever build a desalination plant?

   POST 6- NEWS  The news talks about the intention of officials in Baja California about building a large, desalination plant in a beach town near Tijuana. In 2016, state officials finalized a plan only to shelve it four years later, citing its high cost. The energy-intensive technology works by removing impurities from seawater. Roberto Salmón also helped to oversee U.S.-Mexico treaties on borders and rivers as Mexico’s representative to the International Boundary and Water Commission between 2009 and 2020. He said a desalination plant would help Tijuana considerably. “But discussions had been going on ever since I came into the commission,” Salmón said, “and there is no plant yet.” A single aqueduct that crosses the state, including a rugged 4,000 feet (1,219 meters) mountain pass, brings Colorado River water into Tijuana. “It’s a one-source city,” Salmón said. Officials and companies have similarly talked about using treated recycled wastewater to boost the city’s wat...
