**Rosarito’s Desalination Plant: A New Era for Water Supply and Tourism**
Rosarito is poised for a transformative development with the confirmation of a new desalination plant, as announced by Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum. During a recent press briefing, it was revealed that the project is part of the National Water Plan and will proceed with an investment of 12 billion pesos (approximately $648 million USD).
“We are committed to making the desalination plant in Baja California a reality,” affirmed Sheinbaum, emphasizing the project’s importance.
The announcement was met with enthusiasm by Rosarito’s Mayor, Rocío Adame, who took to social media to express her excitement. “The desalination plant is happening! This initiative is critical for improving water supply in South Rosarito and preserving our beaches.”
**A Sustainable Vision for Rosarito**
Classified as a Greenfield project, the new plant is set to have a substantial production capacity of 2,200 liters per second. This will secure a sustainable and consistent water source for the region, a prospect that has been closely monitored, with Banobras and Fonadin providing backing.
But the benefits extend beyond water infrastructure. Rosarito is also focusing on elevating its tourism sector with sustainability in mind. Efforts are underway to achieve the National Tourism Quality Certification, a mark of superior standards and environmental responsibility for tourist destinations across Mexico.
“This certification is a comprehensive acknowledgment of quality and sustainability in tourism,” said Paul Corona Rodríguez, president of COTUCO Rosarito.
With significant infrastructure investments and a robust focus on eco-friendly tourism, Rosarito is well on its way to establishing itself as a leader in regional development.
