A recent report from the Quintana Roo Tourism Secretariat (Sedetur) shows that the region currently has 130,104 hotel rooms spread over multiple locations, including Cancun with 45,019 rooms and Riviera Maya with 56,625 rooms.
Bernardo Cueto, Secretary of State for Tourism, highlights the continued growth of investments in Quintana Roo, with an average opening of one hotel per month this year.
This suggests that the region will exceed the 130,000 hotel rooms it already has by the end of 2023. It also expects two more openings in Cancun before the end of the year, with nearly 5,000 additional rooms.
New projects and expansions continue to strengthen the hotel sector in Quintana Roo
Two new projects include the 3,000-room Grand Island megaproject and a new RCI hotel originally planned as an 1,800-room Hard Rock, which will be renamed before opening.
Bernardo Cueto also mentioned that an average of one new hotel opens per month during the year, especially in the north of Quintana Roo.
The official emphasized that more than 200 hotel projects will be completed in the coming years. Despite this increase in room supply, Cueto assures that occupancy rates will not be affected as the Mexican Caribbean, especially Cancun, remains the leader in room occupancy.
The same statistical report from Sedetur shows an increase of 2,705 rooms across 17 new properties between January and August 2023. Significant growth compared to the end of 2022, when the company had 127,399 hotel rooms and 1,331 hotels. This represents significant growth, with 1,348 accommodations registered until August this year.
Sustainable growth in Quintana Roo
Investments and investor confidence remain solid pillars for Quintana Roo’s tourism sector, which is on a sustainable growth path.
The region’s hotel sector shows no signs of slowing down and growth is expected to continue in the coming years, making Quintana Roo one of the premier destinations in Mexico.
