INSTALLATION OF FIBER OPTICS NETWORK IN THE CANCUN-TULUM CORRIDOR.
The northern zone of Quintana Roo has great economic potential due
to the high levels of occupation in recent years.
The firm Cobalt Holdings announced a project for the installation of
a 180-kilometer broadband fiber optic network for the hotel industry
of the Cancun-Tulum corridor, in the northern zone of Quintana Roo.
Lawrence Malone, president of the company, said that they have great
interest in the economic potential of the northern area of the state,
for the more than 100,000 rooms it has, for the high levels of occupation
in recent years, as well as for the announcements of more hotel investment
and services that are approaching for the entity.
The Cancun-Tulum corridor is one of the fastest growing areas in the
world, with more than 17 million tourists per year and an economic
income of over $7 billion dollars.
The infrastructure installed by Cobalt Holdings will seek to meet the
demand for high-speed Internet that hotels currently have, especially
those that are changing towards co-living and co-working trends, which
require new segments of travelers, better known as digital nomads, Marco
Antonio Bravo Fabián, head of the Quintana Roo Institute of Innovation
and Technology, explained in an interview.
He added that it is not only this firm of American origin that is
betting on fiber optic cables in Quintana Roo, but also Lomas Telecomm
and more recently China Telecomm, which has announced its interest in
deploying broadband connections from north to south of the country. state.
All this without taking into account the investments of Telmex to expand
its fiber optic network in Quintana Roo, as well as subsidiary companies
of Grupo Salinas that also have investments in the state capital.
The official said that in recent years the entity has received an approximate investment of 400 million pesos in this area, both because it is attractive to provide these services to the hotel industry of the Mexican Caribbean, and by the public sector in the state capital , which will be strengthened with the establishment of the Federal Ministry of Tourism next year.
Attractive
Bravo Fabián said that Cancun is becoming not only one of the best cities with the best air connectivity in the country, but that investments in fiber optics are becoming little by little an attractive point for the development of new information technologies, supported for the fiber optic connectivity that is being deployed.
He recalled that this Thursday the first Selina hotel officially opened in Cancun, specializing in co-working and co-living trends, combined with wellness. It is an additional investment in these new lodging trends, focused on the digital nomads segment, which are professionals who use new technologies to work remotely, to engage in new work dynamics in the sites they visit.
