Jalisco tourism and innovation development

Overview

The government of Jalisco is implementing strategies to expand international air connectivity and technological innovation. In October 2026, officials participated in the World Routes fair in Germany to negotiate new and restored flight routes from Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta to markets in Europe and the Americas. During this period, the InnovaFest Guadalajara event also focused on supporting sectors such as fintech, semiconductors, and artificial intelligence.

By November 2026, the region prepared to host the inaugural ITB Americas tourism fair at Expo Guadalajara. This event marks the start of a five year alliance with Messe Berlin, which will establish a continental office in Guadalajara. The fair includes participation from international entities like Medellín, highlighting new direct flight connections between Guadalajara and Colombia.
