The ‘Maya Well-being Market’ model is a cultural and commercial program that will be located at bus stops or stations in the region through which the railway project will pass once it is completed.
In these markets, all the products of our and our artisans can be exposed; those people who deserve much more”, highlighted Lezema.
In this sense, food, handicrafts, souvenirs and other items made by the towns of the demarcation may be offered to the more than 31 million visitors that are estimated to arrive in the Mexican Caribbean, visiting the eight stations and four whereabouts of Quintana Roo.
The inauguration of the Mayan Train, flagship project of the 4T, is scheduled for the month of December 2023. It will connect the southeastern zone of Mexico through a route of 1,500 kilometers per Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatan and Quintana Roo.
The project is expected to reduce the times and costs of transporting goods, passengers and tourists within the region. At the same time, it seeks to reactivate the economy through comprehensive and planned territorial ordering, which will generate new areas of opportunity.
Although the greatest expectation to make investments is in the areas where the stations will be located, It also opens a niche opportunity to promote tourism projects in all regions of the states involved.
Seven months after its inauguration, The Secretary of National Defense (Sedena) has reported a 20% advance in the construction of the flagship work of the six-year term of Andrés Manuel López Obradormainly in sections 5 north, 6 and 7.
