Tulum, Quintana Roo — Mexico’s tourism secretary, Josefina Rodríguez Zamora, announced that a tourist corridor will be built this year at the main entrance to the Jaguar Park and Tulum archaeological zone, as part of the Tulum Renace project promoted by President Claudia Sheinbaum.
Rodríguez Zamora made the announcement during a working visit to the site, where she reviewed progress on commitments made by the president and held working meetings with federal agencies and tourism sector representatives.
She said that three weeks after the launch of Tulum Renace, tourism service providers are already reporting positive results, with visitor numbers up nearly 10 percent. The goal, she added, is to continue promoting the destination and improve infrastructure to attract more national and international tourists.
Access to Jaguar Park remains free for visitors who only want to use the beaches or walk through public areas. For the archaeological zone, Mexican visitors pay 80 pesos and foreigners 265 pesos, a fee that includes entry to both the archaeological site and the protected natural area.
Regarding the new corridor, Rodríguez Zamora said the executive project is already being prepared and construction will begin this year. The project calls for removing the current access booths, which she described as a barrier to mobility, and creating proper spaces for artisans, merchants and organized tour operators working in the area.
“We are here to review the project. The president has pushed this process forward very quickly,” she said. “We are going to remove this entrance wall, relocate the booths and provide suitable areas for our artisans and for those who offer tourism services.”
The investment amount has not yet been set; it will be determined once the executive project is completed. Rodríguez Zamora said the federal government aims to create a more orderly, inclusive and functional entrance that improves the visitor experience and supports Tulum’s economic development.
