Acapulco’s Tourism Posts Double-Digit Uptick

Tourism to Acapulco is up 11 percent over last year, according to the Secretary of Tourism of the State of Guerrero.

Acapulco received 770,000 visitors July 10-Aug. 19, an 11 percent jump over the same period last year, while city hotels were reporting an average occupancy of 65 percent, reaching peaks of up to 93.9 percent over certain weekends.

Over the last few years Acapulco has undergone extensive renovations of its tourism infrastructure.

In May 2018 it inaugurated a new terminal of the international airport (ACA), increasing its arrival capacity to 1.3 million passengers.

The new building was created with an eco-conscious concept that aims to reduce its environmental impact, and features the latest in airport technology, say officials.

The city has also received a billion-dollar investment from Grupo Autofin, a private conglomerate that includes the launch of XTASEA, the world’s largest over-the-ocean zipline, the building of an eco-amusement park, a tennis stadium and a medical center. Many of Acapulco’s best-known hotels have undergone renovations as well.
