Gov. Jorge Herrera Caldera said on Wednesday that his administration will increase spending on the state’s tourism sector to account for the increased number of tourists that are expected to arrive along the Durango-Mazatlán Superhighway. Herrera Caldera said that he would fight hard for the construction of lookout points and other stops for tourists along the superhighway, which have the goal of promoting the use of this toll road by tourists.

His comments were made during a meeting with federal Tourism Secretary Claudia Ruiz Massieu. Herrera Caldera said that he was lobbying Ruiz Massieu for federal funds to finish construction on the Francisco Villa National Museum, rebuild the facades of historic buildings in the cities of Durango, Gómez Palacio and Lerdo, and promote the consolidation of the Tierra Adentro Royal Road.
