Quintana Roo Targets Foreign Investment with Israel and China Missions

Quintana Roo, Mexico — With the goal of attracting foreign investment and diversifying markets, Quintana Roo entrepreneurs are preparing two important international commercial missions at the start of 2026.

The first mission will take place in Israel from January 23 to February 2, with visits to different cities and participation in the world’s main cybertechnology event in Tel Aviv. The second will be carried out in China between April and May, with a duration of more than 20 days.

Why Seek to Boost Foreign Investment?

Sergio León Cervantes, president of this business chamber, explained that this mission aims to consolidate certifications in religious tourism, promote agreements in technology, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, as well as explore opportunities in the primary sector, industrial innovation, real estate development and attraction of tourism investment.

Likewise, linkage with companies and innovation centers that develop cutting-edge technologies will be promoted, opening opportunities for the commercialization of Mexican products and the economic diversification of the state.

The second mission will be to China, from April to May, with a duration of more than 20 days. It will include a visit to the Canton Fair in Guangzhou, the world’s largest commercial event, where 15 Quintana Roo entrepreneurs are already registered.

Why is Market Diversification Key?

During the different phases of the fair, global trends in sectors such as home, construction, electronics, textiles, fashion, health, food and consumer products will be explored.

Subsequently, the delegation will travel to Yiwu, China’s largest permanent wholesale market, where participants will be able to access both retail purchase schemes and large volumes, strengthening their supply chains and competitiveness.

León Cervantes considered that given the complicated international panorama of 2026, Mexico is obliged to diversify its options to stop depending so much on the U.S. market, so venturing into the Middle East and China could even lower costs of supplies currently consumed by the local hotel sector, both in electronics, as well as in white goods and even food and beverages that could be exported at more competitive prices.
