A recent report from the Quintana Roo Tourism Secretariat (Sedetur) reveals that the region currently has 130,104 hotel rooms spread across several locations, including Cancún with 45,019 rooms and Riviera Maya with 56,625 rooms.
Bernardo Cueto, Secretary of State for Tourism, highlights the continuous growth of investment in Quintana Roo, with an average of one hotel opening 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 anticipates 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 industry in Quintana Roo
Two new projects include the 3,000-room Grand Island megaproject and a new RCI hotel originally planned as a 1,800-room Hard Rock, which will be rebranded before it opens.
Bernardo Cueto also mentioned that during the year an average of one new hotel has opened per month, especially in the north of Quintana Roo.
The official highlighted that more than 200 hotel projects will be incorporated in the coming years. Despite this increase in room supply, Cueto assures that occupancy will not be affected, as the Mexican Caribbean, especially Cancun, continues to lead in terms of room occupancy.
The same Sedetur statistical report shows an increase of 2,705 rooms distributed among 17 new accommodations between January and August 2023. A significant growth compared to the end of 2022, when the corporation had 127,399 hotel rooms and 1,331 hotels. This represents a significant growth, with 1,348 accommodations registered until August this year.
Sustainable Growth in Quintana Roo
Investment and investor confidence continue to be solid pillars for Quintana Roo’s tourism sector, which is on a sustainable growth path.
The region’s hotel industry shows no signs of slowing down, and growth is expected to continue in the coming years, consolidating Quintana Roo as one of the most important destinations in Mexico.
