Isla Mujeres municipal development and social programs

Overview

The municipality of Isla Mujeres continues its active public‑works and community‑service agenda. Following the late‑June opening of the Paseo de las Sirenas promenade and subsequent waterfront modernisations, the administration has maintained daily beach‑clean‑up operations through ZOFEMAT to ensure Playa Norte and Playa Centro retain Blue‑Flag certification. Progress continues on the new Casa de la Cultura, which will feature an auditorium, music and dance rooms, and a virtual library.

Social and security initiatives have expanded under Mayor Atenea Gómez Ricalde. The “Isleño de Corazón 2026” program was approved to provide financial support and training to approximately 250 tourism workers, including boatmen and porters, during low-activity months. To bolster public safety, the administration delivered 500 new uniforms to the Municipal Secretariat of Citizen Security, noting that the annual security budget has increased by 753 percent compared to 2021.

Long-term infrastructure reports confirm the completion of over 170 public works projects over a five-year period. These achievements include the paving of 228,000 square meters of roads, the construction of seven sports domes, five soccer fields, and 17 playgrounds. Environmental and urban management projects, funded in part by the Environmental Sanitation Right, include the near-completion of electrical undergrounding on Guerrero Street, the completion of the first stage on Juárez Street, and the restoration of sinkholes on Avenida Perimetral Oriente. To diversify the economy, the municipality launched the first Diving Guide in Quintana Roo to promote sustainable nautical traditions and continues to host cultural events such as the ‘Cántale a México con el Corazón’ singing competition.
