Los Cabos has taken a proactive stance on the coronavirus, implementing containment measures through all sectors of its tourism industry, said Rodrigo Esponda, managing director of the Los Cabos Tourism Board. \u201cOur No. 1 priority is to keep the community and visitors safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Several weeks ago, screening procedures were implemented at the San Jos\u00e9 International Airport, including containment measures for travelers with high temperatures or other symptoms of the virus. Arriving passengers are required to fill out a questionnaire, which, among others things, asks them to divulge where they have traveled in the past 14 days.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, there are 40 flights to Los Cabos from the U.S. and Canada, Esponda said.<\/p>\n<p>The Ministry of Health of Baja California Sur has put into place a protocol with the hotel and timeshare association, business chamber of commerce and destination management companies to assess and report potential risks or cases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve also implemented cleaning protocols [at restaurants and hotels],\u201d Esponda said. \u201cRestaurants are limiting the number of guests and are putting more distance between tables.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although visitors numbers have dropped dramatically in the aftermath of the U.S. government\u2019s restrictions on non-essential travel across the U.S.-Mexican border, \u201cthere has been a commitment from the private sector to keep hotels open,\u201d Esponda said, adding that virtually the entire Los Cabos population is reliant on the tourism industry, and that the destination is committed to keeping people employed. \u201cOur most important asset is our people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, travelers are, in fact, still traveling to Los Cabos, albeit in much smaller numbers. \u201cWe have a different dynamic than other destinations,\u201d Esponda said. \u201cThere are many Americans who own homes in the destination [and] arrive by private plane\u201d and also stay in hotels.<\/p>\n<p>In other developments, the Los Cabos Tourism Board has created an information campaign for its tourism partners, including consortia, travel advisors and tour operators, to keep them abreast of the latest developments regarding the destination.<\/p>\n<p>An online toolkit designed provides Los Cabos\u2019 partners with information. It is updated daily, with real-time reports<\/p>\n<p>The tourism board has also assembled a team of experts who are able to communicate the latest information on the coronavirus and how it relates to Los Cabos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Cabos, Mexico, April 7, 2020 \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/travelindex.com\" class=\"autohyperlink\" target=\"_blank\">travelindex.com<\/a> \/ The Los Cabos Tourism Board has created an online toolkit for its tourism partners.
