Have you heard of the great new things happening in Rocky Point ?

The Mexican govenment and the private sector are making important strides to ensure Puerto Penasco's success as both a national and international destination. Puerto Penasco is a very strategic point for the entire region of the Sea of Cortez in the area of tourism. It already has the necessary connectivity in order to continue it's tourism growth, with the Sea of Cortez Airport, the new coastal highway and proximity to the largest global market, the United States. Everything is coming together, and Puerto Penasco is sure to be one of Mexico's star tourist destinations


*The renovations of the Old Port are coming along beautifully, giving Old Port a whole new look. They have added new street lights, new sidewalks, landscaping and the businesses have all been given a new front façade. The benefits off all this hard work will be evident as all telephone, electrical and fiber optics will all be underground throughout this section of town






*The new mall in town near Old Port is expected to be complete later this year, and will include 6 movie theaters, restaurants and upscale shopping



*The new coastal highway has been a great success since opening up, giving California tourists direct access to Rocky Point. It is now only a 5.5. hour drive to San Diego. We have seen alot more Californians coming, and they are utterly amazed at the prices on beachfront real estate. Check out all my beachfront condo deals at ww.sonoranresortexperts.com



*The Sea of Cortez International airport is serving like a launching pad and bringing in tourism from near and far. Fernando Antillon, Director of the Sea of Cortez Airport, has mentioned future plans for growth. Airlines are exploring the possibility of beginning flights to the area from the cities of Los Angeles, and Phoenix. They would first start off with charters, that will eventually lead to commercial flights. It is a fair estimation that within a two to three year period we could be recieving visitors flying from the United States on commercial flights, along with all the benefits this will bring.



The Sea of Cortez International Airport aerial tourism to Puerto Penasco continues to grow, proof of which is reflected in additional charter flights to the area from spots including Queretario, and Tijuana, Baja California. On October 29th both flights made their first arrival in Puerto Penasco. These are to continue throughout the year with arrrivals at least twice per week. The central Mexican city of Queretaro represents a strong potential market, with 21 million residents





*Holland American and Carnival Cruise Lines have future plans to add Rocky Point as a port destination bringing in visitors from all over the world






*Donald Trump Jr., son of real estate magnate Don Trump recently visited Rocky Point in December. He was here scoping out the Rocky Point area for sites for future projects (yes, projects, plural). He express a great interest in investing in Rocky Point.



*A huge new store, which is prominent throughout Mexico, named Bodega Aurrera , is projected to be completed by September 2011 . This company is owned by Walmart, and will be a major convenience for both tourists and the locals of Rocky Point ....and you know what comes after Walmart right....Sam's Club is sure to follow




*Another new addition, and one that is very important for the tourism sector, Federal Secretary of Tourism Gloria Guevara Manzo recently visited the area and gave a press conference in regards to the construction of a convention center that is sure to boost this area even more. Puerto Penasco is truly grateful to be chosen, given that the more we have to offer to different types of tourism in the region, the more visitors we will have throughout the year.



The Penasco Convention Center will include a convention hall with a capacity for up to 3,000 people, a conference room, museum, a game room, lobby with exhibition hall and an open air auditorium with seating capacity for up to 1,200 people. The site is planned for the old airport area, just as you come into town.
