The traditional zone was at 72.3% and Acapulco Diamante reached 73.1%.This performance was better than expected for all zones of the city. Ms. García said that the excellent performance is the result of the tourism promotion effort undertaken throughout the year. “Especially in the fourth quarter, we have visited all the cities in Mexico that are origins for our tourists, and we have been visited by journalists with a view towards strengthening Acapulco’s image abroad as a tourist destination,” she said.

The city official also referred to the cooperation agreement among police forces at all three levels of government to guarantee safety and quiet for vacationers during the high holiday season and the numerous “value-added” details Acapulco provides to visitors, like the fireworks over the bay, volunteers to assist tourists in the key attractions, and popular shows at Caleta and Caletilla.
