The government of Quintana Roo has nipped in the bud any hopes that Cancun and the Riviera Maya hotels could expect to reopen on June 1.
Tourism Minister Marisol Vanegas Pérez has stated that “it’s not true that they’ll be able to reopen, since the companies themselves don’t determine that, nor the market. It will be the federal and state governments.”
Marisol also added that the only hotels that should be open for the foreseeable future are those providing service for people carrying out activities deemed essential during the coronavirus pandemic.
All Swimming pools, gyms, spas and other tourist services will remain closed until conditions allow, and reopening early could lead to “disastrous consequences,” Vanegas said.
No dates were given but, Vanegas did say that MAYBE they can expect to see a return to something resembling normal later in June.
“Yes, they’ll be able to open in a preparatory fashion by means of a health certification issued by the Quintana Roo government, which will be voluntary and not obligatory. The main objective is for businesses to be prepared to return to activities on a still unspecified date in June,” she said.
The certification will be a means by which hotels and other businesses can assure customers that they have minimized the risks of coronavirus transmission as much as possible within their facilities.
The Governor Carlos Joaquín González also said the state is not ready to accept tourism activities due to the high number of Coronavirus Covid-19 cases still occurring everywhere around the World.
Cancun and the Riviera Maya are still not ready, he said. We must follow the guidelines and have a gradual return to business.
The recommendation continues to be: remain at home,” he said.
