Michael Bayley, President and CEO of Royal Caribbean International.

The joint work of the Municipality and the State with the executives of Royal Caribbean International gave results for the benefit of the Cozumel community, when the shipping company announced its return to the island next June, with the new route that will set sail from Nassau, in The Bahamas, highlighted the Municipal President, Pedro Joaquín Delbouis.

With this, Cozumel becomes the first port in Mexico and the Caribbean to be close to receiving cruises, in addition to meeting the urgent need of the Cozumel community, to continue with the economic and tourist reactivation, and thereby reestablish the sources of income for the island’s workers, explained the Municipal President.
