Baja California’s vast coastlines and mountainous interior landscape provide many investment opportunities in many sectors related to the tourism industry. The Baja California Secretariat of Tourism and the United States-Mexico Chamber of Commerce have joined forces to develop the Baja California Investment Forum.
This one-day meeting has been orchestrated to bring together approximately 150 top ranking corporate executives involved in real estate projects, developments and leisure government officials from both Mexico and the United States. The Baja California Investment Forum will provide valuable perspectives on trends and economic factors which dramatically impact positive growth in Mexico, while also providing a platform for its attendees to discuss the changing issues affecting the real estate, tourism and health service industries of Mexico’s north-western region.
We welcome you to partake in this event and explore the opportunities available to you in Baja California.
