**Rosarito’s Upcoming Desalination Plant: Transforming Water Resources and Boosting Tourism**
Rosarito is on the brink of a transformational change with the confirmation of its new desalination plant, as announced by Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum. The project, a significant part of the National Water Plan, will require an estimated investment of 12 billion pesos ($648 million USD), and is set to significantly enhance the water supply in the region.
President Sheinbaum emphasized the importance of the project during a recent press conference, stating, “Yes, we are going to build it… We will make the desalination plant in Baja California a reality.” The announcement was warmly received by Rosarito’s Mayor Rocío Adame, who expressed her excitement on social media, saying, “The desalination plant is happening! This project will be key to improving water supply in South Rosarito and protecting our beaches.”
**A Sustainable Step Forward for Rosarito**
This Greenfield project will boast a production capacity of 2,200 liters per second, ensuring a sustainable and reliable water supply for Rosarito and its growing needs. With backing from Banobras and Fonadin, the initiative has been recently reviewed, highlighting its progress and potential.
Alongside its advancements in water infrastructure, Rosarito is also placing a strong emphasis on tourism and sustainability. The local administration, under Mayor Adame, is striving for the National Tourism Quality Certification. This certification assures that destinations across Mexico meet high standards in quality and environmental responsibility.
Paul Corona Rodríguez, president of COTUCO Rosarito, remarked, “This certification is a comprehensive recognition of quality and sustainability in tourism.” As Rosarito invests in major infrastructure and eco-friendly tourism, it is poised to become a leader in regional development.
