Massive Tourist Development Around The Corner
15 new hotels, eight new golf courses in the works
By David Flores
A group of local, American and French developers invited Governor Narciso Agundez to a power breakfast last week where they showed off their upcoming tourist project. It's huge folks, as in 5,750 acres of hotels, condos, eight golf courses, malls and residences along the Pacific side of Cabo, on the road to Todos santos and La Paz. The developers were represented by Ernesto Coppel of Pueblo Bonito and Luis Bulnes of Solmar & Playa Grande Resorts. During the meeting, they also asked the state government to build a new road from San Jose International Airport to Cabo San Lucas that wouldn't go through San Jose's and Cabo's already busy downtowns.
The new road would save our precious pilgrims a good 20 minutes of driving and is already part of our resort area's master plan, which also includes adding two more lanes from Cabo to La Paz. Agundez welcomed the new tourist project and said his administration would make sure building permits did not compromise public beach access. Beaches in Mexico are part of the public domain, and cannot be owned privately.
