Quintana Roo reinforces security with more than 10,000 personnel and guarantees the continuity of tourism activity

The Quintana Roo government deployed a joint operation with more than 10,000 security personnel from all three levels of government to preserve public order and ensure the continuity of economic and tourist activities in the state, Governor Mara Lezama Espinosa reported.

The measure was implemented following the violent events that occurred in the country as a result of a federal operation in Tapalpa, Jalisco. The state governor assured that the situation in the state remains under control and that there is ongoing coordination with the Army, the National Guard, the Navy, the Attorney General's Office, the State Attorney General's Office, the Judiciary, the National Migration Institute, the Secretariat of Citizen Security, and regional working groups with municipal presidents.

Lezama emphasized that tourism operations have not been affected. The state's four international airports are operating normally, and no flight cancellations have been reported; the delays reported are due to weather conditions in the United States. Likewise, the ADO bus terminals and the Maya Train are operating as usual.

Regarding recommendations issued by the United States Consulate, it was specified that they correspond to usual preventive measures for its citizens, such as avoiding unnecessary travel and staying informed through official channels.

The governor also confirmed that educational activities continue as normal at all levels, in both public and private institutions, and denied versions circulating on social media about the alleged closure of the Cancun hotel zone, fires in hospitals, schools, banks and self-service stores, as well as the alleged burning of an airplane, an image which she indicated was generated by artificial intelligence.

Separately, authorities confirmed the burning of three vehicles on the highway to Cancún, seven in Playa del Carmen, five in Tulum, and a business in Tulum, in addition to damage to a commercial establishment in Cozumel. As a result of joint operations, nine suspected perpetrators were arrested.

The president stressed that no civilian injuries have been reported and urged the public to seek information only from official sources and avoid spreading rumors that create uncertainty.
