Let's be sincere. When the hotels were authorized to reopen on June 8, a maximum occupancy of 30% was set (40% in boutique type), with intervals of 4 days to be able to reoccupy the same room. Now the authorization is 65% occupancy. However, the state government does not have sufficient capacity to verify that these limits are being respected.
On the other hand, with the terrible economic downturn (and extremely serious unemployment) that have come with COVID-19, especially in a state that depends 95% on tourism, the government itself "looks the other way" on the condition that the hoteliers and other service providers can operate with black numbers and employment and other activities are reactivated. They are understood values.
I believe that the hoteliers of Quintana Roo (some of them are my clients) have been very responsible in the face of the pandemic and very supportive of their collaborators. They have invested millions in implementing hygiene measures that minimize risks, but they cannot be sustained with low occupations all year round.
