### U.S. Political Decisions Could Impact Us, Says Governor
As the United States approaches its crucial elections, there are growing concerns in Baja California Sur and throughout Mexico about the potential ramifications of American political decisions. The state’s governor, Víctor Castro Cosío, acknowledges the profound influence that U.S. politics can have on the region, given its commercial and tourism significance.
**Concerns Over Political Outcomes**
Governor Castro Cosío highlighted the direct impact that U.S. political decisions have on Baja California Sur and Mexico. He emphasized the importance of maintaining a cordial and respectful relationship with whoever is elected. “The political decisions of the most important country in the world can affect us,” he stated.
**Tourism and Economic Dependencies**
Baja California Sur heavily relies on tourism from the United States, particularly in Los Cabos, which draws the majority of the state’s foreign visitors. Of the approximately four million tourists visiting the state annually, nearly three million are from the United States. La Paz and Loreto, on the other hand, attract more national tourists.
“The United States is the country that most visits us. It is crucial to have a political environment that is not aggressive and respects the historical relationship between the two countries,” Castro Cosío reiterated.
**Economic Ties and Future Policies**
Governor Castro also pointed out that the U.S. is Mexico’s main commercial partner. Regardless of the outcome of the November 5 elections, there will be a need to assess the political decisions and their potential impact on Mexico’s economic and sovereignty aspects.
“We must avoid racism and anti-immigrant policies that harm human rights. Instead, we need economic cooperation, respect for national sovereignty, and a stable commercial system,” he added.
Despite the tense political climate, Castro remains hopeful. He recalls the agreements made during Donald Trump’s previous administration and hopes future U.S. leadership will continue to foster positive commercial relations and mutual respect.

In other news, despite potential political turbulence, the tourism industry in Baja California Sur is gearing up for a promising year. Los Cabos has already filled over 90% of its hotel capacity within the first quarter of the year, signaling a strong recovery post-pandemic. Officials attribute this surge to strategic marketing campaigns in the U.S. and Europe.
“We are thrilled to see this level of enthusiasm from international travelers,” stated the regional tourism director. “Our goal is to diversify our visitor base while maintaining strong ties with our neighbors in the United States.”
The Mexican government is also working on infrastructural improvements, including airport expansions and new highway projects, to accommodate the increasing influx of tourists. Despite concerns about the upcoming U.S. elections, the outlook for Baja California Sur’s tourism sector remains optimistic.
