This award is granted through an exclusive selection based on passenger opinions from various airports around the world. With this designation, Guadalajara once again consolidates its position as one of the most sought-after destinations in various markets.
During 2024, the state of Jalisco welcomed approximately 24.7 million passengers, of which 17.8 million were international and domestic passengers arriving directly through Guadalajara Airport.
This year, Guadalajara International Airport has handled 2,963,300 passengers. It is undoubtedly one of the most connected destinations in Mexico, with an increase in international routes and growing travel demand.

Furthermore, the city and metropolitan area boast a significant hotel, dining, and recreational infrastructure, along with growing air connectivity that is now among the most comprehensive in the country and that every visitor can enjoy during their stay.
For its part, the tourism industry has taken on an increasingly important role in attracting foreign currency to Jalisco, contributing to strengthening its GDP figures. This has been thanks to the diversification, development, and tourism promotion that the Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVBO) has provided to each sector within the state, thereby attracting more and better tourism.
In this regard, Gustavo Staufert, General Director of the OFVC of Guadalajara commented: “We are very happy with this news since the arrival of national and international tourists to the Pearl of the West is very important to us and what better reference than to have an International Airport at the level of the best in the world, focused on providing excellent service and worrying about being at the forefront and in optimal conditions, which undoubtedly has an impact on the preference and acceptance of the traveler.”
