The Acapulco Municipal Council for Economic Promotion, Investment, and Development (COMUFEID) has approved new regulations to foster economic growth. This follows the review of the ‘Acapulco Invierte’ study, which identified 118 economic polygons for potential capital attraction based on data from over 37,000 economic units. Mayor Abelina López Rodríguez noted that objective fiscal incentives are necessary to build investor confidence and prevent development paralysis.

In tandem with economic policy shifts, municipal authorities have initiated infrastructure rehabilitation along the five-kilometer Cayaco-Puerto Marqués corridor. Works include cleaning, tree pruning, lighting improvements, and reforestation efforts. During this period, the city reported a hotel occupancy rate of 47.4%, with the Golden Zone reaching 54.2%.
