Los Cabos is all in when it comes to the luxury travel segment visitor.

In fact, according to Baja California Sur Secretary of Tourism and Economy Rosa Maribel Collins Sánchez, Los Cabos really stands out in the entire nation when it comes to attracting this key customer segment.

Attracting the Affluent

In Baja California Sur, there are more than 28,000 hotel rooms available for all tourists visiting the area. According to the Baja California Sur Secretary of Tourism and Economy, more than 60 percent of the rooms, or a total of 18,000 rooms, are oriented towards the luxury travel segment.

According to Secretary Collins Sánchez, Los Cabos really stands out above the rest on national rankings of amenities attracting this important segment of customers.

This effort has been on the radar of local Los Cabos municipal and tourism officials who have been working closely with a number of key stakeholders to improve and enhance amenities the more upscale resort traveler desires.

Their work is finally starting to gain some traction, to the delight of Los Cabos visitors.

Los Cabos is shifting away from its Spring Break destination traditions to more of a luxury destination for affluent customers.

Not only do affluent customers stay longer, pay higher room rates, enjoy shopping and spend more on meals in Los Cabos, but they also contribute to the potential for higher wages and tips for local service workers.

However, Los Cabos has much more work to do before being able to provide the key basic services most affluent consumers desire.

There has been an active effort among local government officials to address some issues in Los Cabos, including crime, traffic, trash, road, and technology infrastructure upgrades.
