**Rosarito’s New Desalination Plant: A Bright Future for Water and Tourism**
Rosarito is on the brink of a transformational development with the confirmation of its new desalination plant. This significant project was announced by Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum during a recent press conference. Part of the comprehensive National Water Plan, the facility represents a substantial investment, projected at 12 billion pesos ($648 million USD).
President Sheinbaum declared, “Yes, we are going to build it… We will make the desalination plant in Baja California a reality.” This statement was met with enthusiasm from Rosarito’s Mayor Rocío Adame, who expressed her excitement on social media by saying, “The desalination plant is happening! This project will be key to improving water supply in South Rosarito and protecting our beaches.”
**A Positive Change for the Region**
The plant is set to operate as a Greenfield project with a production capacity of 2,200 liters per second, ensuring a sustainable water supply for the region. The latest review, held on March 12, 2025, highlights the backing from national entities like Banobras and Fonadin.
Further supporting Rosarito’s development, Mayor Adame’s administration is focusing on attaining the National Tourism Quality Certification. This recognition underscores high standards and a commitment to environmental responsibility for tourism destinations across Mexico.
Paul Corona Rodríguez, president of COTUCO Rosarito, remarked, “This certification is a comprehensive recognition of quality and sustainability in tourism.” With these major infrastructure improvements and an emphasis on eco-friendly tourism, Rosarito is poised to lead in regional development.
**Additional Developments in Rosarito**
*Housing Initiative in Playas de Rosarito Launched*
In another significant move for the region, President Sheinbaum recently initiated a housing program in Playas de Rosarito. This program is set to deliver affordable housing options, creating economic opportunities for residents and addressing growing demand for residential spaces in the area.
*Business on the Rise: New Calimax in Puerto Nuevo*
Business activity in Baja California is also picking up with the announcement of a new Calimax supermarket in Puerto Nuevo. This addition marks another stride forward in enhancing local infrastructure and service provision, catering to the increasing needs of residents and tourists alike.
With these key developments, Rosarito is not only improving its water security and infrastructure but is also enhancing its tourism and housing sectors, promising a bright future for its residents and visitors.
