More than 1 million travelers from different parts of the world visit Mexico every year in search of medical treatment, which in their countries of origin are unsustainable or their insurance does not cover them. Quintana Roo has the climate, air connectivity, strategic geographic location and human capital, among other conditions, to house investments in this area.
Derived from the opportunities offered by the destination, the Canadian firm K&A announced the opening of a high-specialty hospital complex and a rehabilitation clinic for retirement-age communities with Canadian health system standards.
According to a bulletin, K&A highlighted the beauty and potential of the state capital to offer health services, reason enough to host an investment of 200 million dollars, which will mark a before and after for the south of Quintana Roo, specifically for our capital.
Although the location is not confirmed, the consortium planned to acquire the “El Mostrenco” ranch, owned by former governor Mario Villanueva Madrid, to house that project.
Another of the projects we are proud of is the investment of 150 MDD in Isla Mujeres for the opening of the first facilities of the Spanish company Sha Wellness, a world leader in preventive medicine and health care.
It should be noted that Isla Mujeres competed with countries such as the United States and Colombia, to host the 1st wellness center in Latin America, confirming that Quintana Roo is the ideal place for economic diversification. Sha Wellness pledged to use inputs made in Mexico so that the economic spill remains in our national territory.
The Spanish firm explained that the complex will have 100,000 m2 of construction divided into two phases of development, on land that exceeds 70,000 m2. The implementation of the first stage of the project considers the creation of 400 direct jobs and 300 indirect jobs in a second stage. It will have 100 suites and 50 private residences. The inauguration is scheduled for the first half of 2021.
Bernardo Cueto, CEO of Idefin, said that “it is time to intensify the promotion of Quintana Roo as a world-class investment destination and strengthen our alliances with the private sector, in order to achieve the materialization of investments that generate more and better opportunities for the population of Quintana Roo, that is the precise instruction by Governor Carlos Joaquín. ”
According to INEGI data, the arrival of capital for large investment projects confirms the leadership of Quintana Roo at the national level in the creation of jobs and receiver of foreign direct investment (FDI), positioning us in third place at the national level. (INFOQROO)
