Los Cabos, Mexico (May 2, 2005) – Los Cabos continues to embrace its well-earned reputation for being the most prestigious and fastest growing travel destination in Mexico. In comparison of years past, proof is evident that Los Cabos is hot.   

By significantly surpassing already healthy numbers, Los Cabos is confirming its place as the fastest growing destination in Mexico and one of American travelers’ most appealing travel spots for business and pleasure.  As of April 2005 the destination reports 10,273 hotel rooms, up from 9200 in September 2004.  Occupancy rates are on the rise as well. Our latest statistics show that hotel occupancy for January and February 2005 averaged 70%, while the same period in 2004 yielded 53%. And while complete data is not yet available for March 2005, advance reports show that occupancy was at an incredible 89% during the Easter holiday, up 16% over 2004. 

In addition, Los Cabos is experiencing increased airlift with more flights servicing the destination than ever before. January of this year saw 26% more flights arriving in Los Cabos than the year prior; 27% more in February, 31% more in March and a dramatic increase of 33% more flights arriving in April 2005 as compared to 2004.
