An investment of 213 million pesos will provide more than 100 direct jobs during construction.

Escuinapa: With an investment of 213 million pesos, the first hotel of the Centro Integralmente Planeado (CIP) Playa Espíritu mega tourist resort in Escuinapa will be open for business in December this year, said Sinaloa Fonatur delegate Jesús Bazúa Hernández.

The project will provide more than 100 direct jobs during construction, he added.

The delegate told media the hotel will consist of 53 rooms to be built on 5,000 square meters and will provide employment for 100 to 200 local workers once it is completed.

Road access to the resort is being assessed by the Secretary of Communications and Transport with the view to building a 20 kilometer highway to connect with existing roads.

As well, the delegate said, they will work on a study to assess whether it is feasible to upgrade and expand the Teacapán airport for tourists to the resort arriving by air.

The delegate did not give a date for the commencement of construction of the hotel. (from Noroeste)

530 million pesos have been budgeted for the mega tourism development.

The Fondo Nacional de Fomento al Turismo (Fonatur) plans to construct the first hotel at the site of the CIP Playa Espíritu in Teacapán by the end of 2014, said delegate Joel Amarillas López.

He announced yesterday that 530 million pesos have been budgeted for the mega tourism development, which is a significant amount for what he considers to be one of the most important tourist developments in Mexico with an area double that of Cancún.

They are going to work very hard in 2014, said Amarillas López, to construct the foundations of the hotel to begin (to attract) commercial interest. Many are interested in this project which received an historic Fonatur budget, he told media.

At the same time, they will begin complementary infrastructure projects such as roads, equipment for a water treatment plant and storage tank.

The hotel will be managed initially by Fonatur with the idea that later it will attract investors interested in purchasing it.
