There are currently 14,000 hotel rooms in Los Cabos and 1,300 are in development. There are also 12 golf courses with two more under construction. 

“I think the market recognizes the quality and services that we have in Los Cabos,” says Reachi. “We are working hard to have more flights to Los Cabos and our airlift is growing fast. We have grown almost 11 percent this year versus last year. Last year we grew 14 percent over 2012. If you have the quality of hotels and human resources that we have, our visitors can be our best ambassadors.”
