**Tijuana: A Prime Sector for Hotel Investment**
Tijuana has emerged as a prime sector for foreign investment in the hotel industry, according to Dolores Pérez Islas, the General Director of SIL México. Pérez Islas remarked that the city’s economic ascendancy, particularly post-pandemic, has positioned it as a key player in the hospitality sector.
“Tijuana has seen remarkable growth, and the global and binational relations between the United States and Mexico, particularly after China’s increased negotiations with Mexico post-pandemic, have boosted its prominence,” Pérez Islas noted.
She pointed out that Tijuana transitioned from a secondary to a primary sector for foreign investors, driven by its significant economic contributions and strategic geographical location.
In addition to attracting international investment, Tijuana’s hotel industry has seen over 72% occupancy rates, particularly in boutique hotels and executive accommodations catering to professionals.
“We see immense opportunities in Tijuana due to the economic benefits and the strategic position it holds,” commented Pérez Islas. She emphasized that while the majority of investments are foreign, there is also room for smaller Mexican enterprises, including contractors, developers, and individual property owners, to invest moderately.
Pérez Islas mentioned that securing hotel proprietors remains a challenge, as many operations are under long-term leases or branded contracts. However, potential investors are guided through the process, ensuring they make informed decisions.
A recent seminar aimed at potential investors offered insights on investing in hospitality, addressing the steps to capitalize on opportunities within the industry.
**Further Industry Insights**
Recent reports indicate a robust interest in Tijuana’s hospitality sector. According to industry analysts, Baja California, including Tijuana, attracts approximately 3.5 million health tourists annually, further amplifying the region’s economic potential.
Additionally, the local sector is gearing up for a high influx of visitors during significant holidays like “Labor Day,” a testament to the area’s growing allure. However, challenges remain, such as meeting established quality standards and ensuring consistent performance by platforms like Airbnb.
As Tijuana continues to evolve as a prime sector for investment, the city’s infrastructure and strategic initiatives remain pivotal to its sustained growth and appeal.
