Grupo Xcaret’s $700M Expansion Fuels Quintana Roo’s Tourism Boom

Grupo Xcaret has announced a massive $700 million investment aimed at expanding Hotel Xcaret México, a project that will create 1,600 direct jobs during its first phase. This bold move is expected to boost local employment and strengthen the region’s tourism infrastructure, marking an important milestone for the hospitality industry in Quintana Roo.

This investment is part of a larger trend that underscores Quintana Roo’s remarkable attractiveness for tourism and hospitality investors. In just one month, an impressive $1.7 billion in investment commitments has been announced.
