Last weekend turned out to be quite fruitful for formal and informal trade in this port due to the long weekend (March 15 to 18), which also coincided with the “Quincena” payday for many.

For this reason, thousands of visitors, both local and national from other cities, chose Progreso as a beach destination during non-working days and the long weekend left good income for most merchants, street vendors and businesses such as .

According to the president of the National Chamber of Commerce, Services, and Tourism (Canaco) of this municipality, an important economic benefit was generated for commerce in general.

Although the final figures have not yet been reported and based on what has been surveyed so far, he indicated that the estimated income for last weekend is around 50 million pesos.

This figure is distributed across various sectors, from hotels, and restaurants to stores, among other establishments in different areas.

In the case of hotels located in the coastal area, their rooms were reserved by telephone and on digital platforms.

Likewise, he stated that for the upcoming Easter holidays, he has already registered 80% of room reservations.

In the businessman’s opinion, the weekend practically started on Friday, a day in which the port had a good influence on people.

The next day the boardwalk was “packed,” a scenario that was repeated on Sunday, and finally on Monday, the last day of the bridge, it was also busy.
