After President elect Manuel Lopez Obrador confirmed that the Cancun-Palenque train in the Yucatan Peninsula had the green light, the project is moving along right away. Yucatan’s governor elect, Mauricio Vila Dosal, is wasting no time in helping to plan the multibillion-dollar transportation project. The passengers will be able to travel through the states of Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatan, Quintana Roo and Chiapas with the Mayan train. Vila Dosal, who attended the September 9th meeting in Palenque, Chiapas, is anxious to start working on the construction.
3 Million Passengers to Move Amongst Stops
Lopez Obrador announced that the train is expected to reel in 3 million traveling passengers every year to the region. These passengers will be travel through various cities, including five in the state of Yucatan. These are Valladolid, Chichen Itza, Izamal, Merida and Maxcanu-Uxmal. Vila Dosal is proposing that these stops be included in the initial construction plans. This is so the Yucatan can being its global marketing campaign. Tourism is a vital economic element that will contribute to the success of the state of Quintana Roo, as well. Its dependence on international traffic weights heavy on the region’s prosperity.
The Maya region offers its share of entrepreneurs, developers and industrialists who would enrich the project of the Cancun-Palenque train. They assure that the stations will be built with cutting-edge technology and trending designs. This, in turn, will attract more tourists who demand easy access and comfortable travel conditions when looking for new and exciting places to experience. Private investment will advantage not only the business owners, but the people they employ. This will also stimulate much-needed tax dollars to build and support a more modern and up-to-date infrastructure.
Cancun-Palenque Train Opens Up Traveling Opportunities
All the state governors are looking forward to stimulating their economies in so many ways. They see an opportunity to highlight their local and natural resources. More people will get the opportunity to see cultural events, ancient ruins and historical landmarks that are otherwise hard to reach. Once the word is out that you can experience southeast Mexico in the comfort of the Cancun-Palenque train at an affordable price, people will be flocking to the region. There is a lot of excitement spreading throughout the country.
The Cancun-Palenque train is one of the many projects that President elect, Lopez Obrador, is already pushing. However, he won’t be taking office until December 1st. He laid out some of the financing plans of the 150-billion-peso project (approximately 6 billion USD). The government’s money injection to complete the project is one thing. However, Lopez Obrador is also looking for private resources and lodging taxes to help off-set the massive transit budget. The governors of the states of Chiapas and Tabasco are already gearing up to begin construction as soon as Manuel Lopez Obrador steps in as President of Mexico.

If you’re investing, this is a great way to attract new tourists who will be easily reaching the region from different states. That means a greater influx of people searching for accommodation in the region.
