MAZATLÁN, MEXICO – In a remarkable development, Mazatlán is poised to experience a transformative year in 2024, with significant strides in the hospitality, commercial, and aerospace sectors. This vibrant city, known for its scenic beaches and rich cultural heritage, is set to welcome an array of new projects that promise to further cement its status as a premier tourist destination and an emerging center for aerospace innovation.

Mazatlán's tourism landscape will be enriched with the addition of Dreams Estrella Del Mar Mazatlán Golf & Spa Resort, Fiesta Americana Zona Dorada, and Nus Wyndham Garden Suites. These establishments will augment the city's already impressive hospitality portfolio by adding 900 rooms. Dreams Estrella Del Mar, opening in April 2024, boasts eight restaurants and an 18-hole golf course. The Nus Wyndham Garden Suites, situated in the burgeoning Marina Mazatlán neighborhood, is slated for launch in the second quarter of 2024. Grupo Posadas is also expanding its footprint with the inauguration of Fiesta Americana Mazatlán and two new hotels under the InterContinental Hotel Groups in the Golden Zone and Marina Mazatlán.

In tandem, the city's commercial offerings will see a boost with the opening of the NUS Suites & Plaza commercial center. This new complex, integrating seamlessly with the Nus Wyndham Garden Suites, will feature an eclectic mix of restaurants, bars, and retail stores, further enhancing Mazatlán's appeal as a leisure and shopping destination.

Moreover, Mazatlán is set to become a significant player in Mexico's aerospace industry with the launch of the Mazatlán Aerospace Park. Commencing operations in January 2024, the facility will specialize in aircraft maintenance and repairs, host a cargo terminal, and feature a state-of-the-art laboratory for research and development. This venture not only positions Mazatlán at the forefront of aerospace manufacturing but also promises to generate employment opportunities in tech and science fields, bolstering the local economy.

In addition to these developments, the recent unveiling of Gran Acuario Mazatlán "Mar de Cortés," the largest aquarium in Mexico and a notable landmark in Latin America, adds another feather to Mazatlán's cap. Adjacent to the city's iconic 12-mile-long boardwalk along the Pacific Ocean, the aquarium showcases the diverse marine life of the Sea of Cortez, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site.

Estrella Palacios Domínguez, Secretary of Tourism for the State, expressed enthusiasm for these developments, stating, "Mazatlán remains a preferred city for tourism in Mexico. With continued growth in investments, we are excited to welcome new hotels, commercial plazas, and an aerospace park to our city's portfolio." The Municipal Government of Mazatlán confirmed an initial investment of approximately USD 817 million for these projects, signaling a strong commitment to the city's future as a top destination for both leisure and business travelers.

As Mazatlán gears up for these momentous changes, it is set to redefine its position on the global stage, offering a blend of traditional charm and modern innovation. The city's evolution into a hub of hospitality and aerospace advancement marks a new chapter in its storied history, promising a vibrant and prosperous future.
