Francisco Córdova Celaya, Secretary of Tourism for the state of Sinaloa, said we are expecting the financial impact on the state from Semana Santa to be approximately 650 million pesos ($49.5 million), with the greatest impact to be seen in the southern and central part of the state.
The projected 650 million pesos is income realized by restaurants, hotels, boat rentals, and similar tourist purchases.
According to the Secretary of Tourism, during Semana Santa last year the state saw a positive financial impact of 497 million pesos ($37.7 million), making this year 31% greater.
In addition to increased revenues, Francisco Córdova Celaya said the number of visitors to the state was up 200,000 over 2013.
He added, “We’re thinking that Mazatlán will realize additional revenues of between 400 to 450 million pesos, the rest would be statewide.”
