Mexico's government has launched the 'Magical Neighborhoods' initiative aimed at boosting tourism and addressing long-standing infrastructure issues, particularly in areas like Acapulco, which is recovering from Hurricane Otis. The program recognizes neighborhoods rich in charm and tradition and has already awarded the designation to Playa Bonfil and Pie de la Cuesta. Local residents are optimistic that this initiative will increase tourist visits and improve local services. In the first half of 2024, international tourism in Mexico rose by 6.2%, contributing to a 7.4% growth in the tourism-related economy. The initiative reflects a broader strategy to revitalize affected areas and enhance the tourist experience.
