• In the first stage of the tourism mega-project, 200 hotel rooms will be built

The government and the private enterprise work to ignite the tourist zone of Costalegre, Jalisco, with the construction of hotels, marinas and three golf fields.

The tourist zone of Costalegre, Jalisco, will receive investments of more than 300 million dollars starting next January, with the purpose of igniting the tourist flow to this region, informed the secretary of Tourism, Enrique Ramos Flores.

It is a series of 14 strategic projects for the next five years, in which in a first stage, 200 new hotel rooms will be opened, said the state civil servant.

The private investments will rise to more than 300 million dollars, whereas the public resources will include the enlargement of the federal freeway 200, as well as the construction of treatment plants and infrastructure.

Ramos Flores said that the state authorities will offer sufficient support to avoid disordered growth and so that the projects do not damage the environment.

According to the web page visitmexico.com, Costalegre is a tourist route of Jalisco that crosses the coasts of Navidad Bay, Tenacatita Bay, Careyes Coast, Majahuas and Cabo Corrientes.

It is a favorite destination for the tourists “who look to be in communion with nature without sacrificing comfort”. It has almost 100 kilometers of calm beaches and is located between the port of Manzanillo, in Colima, and Puerto Vallarta, in Jalisco, shows the website.

Ramos Flores detailed that the 14 projects establish the construction of hotels that will add one thousand 600 rooms, marinas and three golf fields.

The first stage in Costalegre is the development of the tourist project Zafiro.

Reduce protected areas in Guadalajara, posits Ramos

The secretary of Tourism points out that it is necessary to reduce the one thousand 700 protected acres of the downtown area of Guadalajara.

By way of comparison, he said that there are only 300 protected acres in the downtown area of Mexico City. The idea is to increase the population in Guadalajara, which has moved in recent years to neighboring municipalities, and to increase the flow of tourists that come for pleasure. Almost 75% of the visitors to the capital of Jalisco are tourists that attend congresses or conventions, pointed out Ramos Flores in an interview.
