Mazatlán’s Zona Dorada (Golden Zone), declared a “zone in ruins” last week by
the Sinaloa Secretary of Tourism, is finally getting some attention.
Following a proposal by the Frente Empresarial al Servicio del Turismo comprised of businesses in the Golden Zone, thefacelift will begin with maintenance projects,
said subsecretary of tourism Rafael Lizárraga Favela.
Speaking to reporters, Lizárraga Favela did not define how long the facelift would take nor the cost but did say it would take place in three stages.
The first stage is a general clean-up and maintenance of the zone so that tourists who visit this summer will find a different face of the area, he said. This will form part of a general municipal clean-up scheduled to take four years.
The second stage includes plans to install urban equipment, plant trees, install lighting and street signs.
The third and most costly stage will involve upgrading the infrastructure. Lizárraga Favela pointed out the zone is subject to flooding during high seas and the rainy season requiring installation of hydraulic equipment.
With respect to the walkways to the beach, the subsecretary said they must make them attractive, including bathrooms and snack bars because, he pointed out, the area is comprised of concrete and sidewalks, without any type of garden.
The subsecretary met with members of the municipal tourism commission to coordinate the projects and discuss the financial resources needed to rehabilitate the zone.
The municipality can help by detecting problems and assist the Secretary of Tourism with public services such as cleaning and parks and gardens, and together they can find the resources to remodel and improve infrastructure in the tourist zone, added Sergio Romero Barrera, coordinator of the municipal tourism commission.
