### A Legacy of Strength: Remembering Hugo Torres Chabert
Prominent businessman and founder of the Rosarito Beach Hotel and Resort, Hugo Torres Chabert, passed away at the age of 87 on the afternoon of October 31, 2024. Known for his role in the municipalization of Playas de Rosarito and serving as its former mayor, Hugo Torres leaves behind a powerful legacy that his family strives to uphold.
His son, Hugo Torres, expressed the family’s deep connection to his father’s teachings and legacy. “We are left with a legacy of strength, perseverance, and loyalty,” he said, acknowledging the collective responsibility now shouldered by Torres’ children and the 300 individuals employed at Hotel Rosarito. “Continuing his legacy is challenging, but we are fully committed to following the path he paved for us.”
Hugo Torres Chabert was instrumental in founding the Pro-municipality Committee, ultimately leading to the municipal status of Rosarito. His tireless advocacy for community resilience and perseverance was reflected in various pursuits, including his daughter Rosy’s triumph in the World Racquetball Championship, where she famously defeated an American competitor for the first time.
As a forward thinker, Hugo Torres tackled issues like insecurity head-on. Despite having no party affiliations, he aligned strategically with a political party to combat the crime plaguing Rosarito. His efforts were crucial in cleaning up corruption, leading to the arrest and imprisonment of numerous corrupt law enforcement officers.
Described as a loving, generous, and attentive father, Hugo Torres Chabert cared deeply for the well-being of his five children and six grandchildren. A memorial service to honor his life and contributions will be held next week, following the recent release of his book, “Mi compromiso con Rosarito.”
Rafael Crosthwaite, the former president of the Rosarito Business Coordinating Council, lamented Torres Chabert’s passing, calling it an irreplaceable loss. He credited Torres with founding influential groups like the Madrugadores and the Lions Club, contributing significantly to Rosarito’s growth and development.
During the challenges of his tenure as mayor from 2007 to 2010, Torres demonstrated remarkable bravery by reforming law enforcement and maintaining military presence on the streets to address the security concerns, a move fraught with threats yet executed with exceptional integrity.
