A New Dawn: Looking Ahead in Los Cabos eTN
go to original October 9, 2014

LOS CABOS, Mexico - In just two weeks Los Cabos is ready to welcome back tourists following the Category 3 Hurricane Odile that struck on September 14. The hurricane, which tore across the Baja Peninsula, left thousands without power, electricity or potable water. The Mexican government, however, sprung into action and the destination is reporting that it is well on its way to being back and better than ever.

According to the Mexico Tourism Board, approximately 5,000 hotel rooms in Los Cabos are expected to open by October 15, with an additional 7,000 rooms to open by November 15 and a final 10,000 rooms to become available by December 15. In addition, electricity, phone, Internet and potable water have been fully restored to the tourist destination of Cabo San Lucas.

"The news that has encouraged us the most is that the investments are not going to stop in Los Cabos; rather, hoteliers and owners who may have considered hotel renovations in 2015 are taking this as an opportunity to handle any remodeling now. This will not only allow Los Cabos time to recover but several of our hotels will now be upgraded in terms of facilities, landscaping and services," Renato Mendonca, president of the Los Cabos Hotel Association, said in a statement.

There were also a slew of hotel projects that were slated to open in Los Cabos in the next few years. The two anticipated golf resorts, Quivira Golf Club by Jack Nicklaus and Diamante's El Cardonal by Tiger Woods, are scheduled to open on October 9 and mid-December, respectively.
