In this context, Governor Mara Lezama’s drive to promote Quintana Roo internationally stands out, positioning it as an attractive destination not only for tourism but also for investment.
The RGV-COIN 2026 Summit, held in Cancún, marks a turning point in Quintana Roo’s economic strategy by consolidating an alliance with Texas, considered the eighth largest economy in the world. More than just a formal meeting, this forum represents a firm commitment to diversifying the state’s economy and projecting it into international markets with a long-term vision.
Led by Carlos Marín, president of the International Chamber of Commerce in South Texas, and Denisse Wolf, its representative in Mexico, the event brought together business, political, and academic leaders from Mexico, Texas, and Latin America, highlighting the importance of building strategic alliances in a competitive global environment.
In this context, Governor Mara Lezama’s drive to promote Quintana Roo internationally stands out, positioning it as an attractive destination not only for tourism but also for investment. His administration has strengthened the state’s presence on the global stage, generating trust and new opportunities.
The summit featured strong institutional participation, including the Secretary of Economic Development, Paul Carrillo de Cáceres; business leader Javier Carlos Olvera; former Governor Joaquín Hendricks Díaz; and Consul Jesús Cano, all of whom support an agenda focused on regional growth.
The participation of Professor Alfonso Sánchez Ávila, a professor at UNAM and Notary Public No. 76, was particularly noteworthy. He emphasized the importance of legal certainty in international business. His focus on arbitration and mediation as key tools for resolving disputes provided a strategic perspective: without legal security, investment loses its viability.
The thematic areas addressed included sustainable innovation—such as the utilization of sargassum seaweed—air connectivity to boost exports and the development of the southern part of the state, particularly Chetumal, as well as the adoption of Agri-Tech to compete globally.
The RGV-COIN 2026 Summit makes it clear that Quintana Roo has the potential to evolve toward a more competitive and diversified model. The path is defined: strengthen alliances, guarantee legal certainty, and consolidate its international standing as an engine of development.
One topic addressed at the summit was the supply of jet fuel at airports, especially given the increase in airport traffic. Currently, fuel is being supplied by tanker trucks via road, with the risk of accidents and the resulting environmental and ecological impact.
