Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — Playa del Carmen has cut the cost of business operating licenses by 50%, a discount that applies throughout the municipality and took effect September 7, according to city officials.
The measure is part of an effort to encourage investment and new business openings, the municipal government said. It extends beyond the tourist-oriented Quinta Avenida district to cover the entire municipal territory.
City officials also said they are working to reduce the processing time for business license approvals to 10 working days, which would be faster than the traditional wait. In addition, incentives and discounts for businesses that create jobs and invest locally will be extended for three more months.
No details were provided on the specific amounts or categories covered by the extended incentives. Officials described the measures as part of a strategy to make starting and running a business in Playa del Carmen easier, faster and safer.
