]]> Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico – the company that owns and operates 12 airports in México, including Los Cabos International Airport in San José del Cabo – has announced its passenger traffic figures for last month (July 2022),  and spoiler alert: they’re spectacular. GAP included comparison figures for the same time periods in 2019 and 2021, which highlight just how much Los Cabos tourism has recovered from the pandemic, and how much it has grown beyond where it was pre-pandemic.

In July 2022, for example, the total number of terminal passengers at GAP’s Mexican airports increased by 18.9% relative to the same period in 2019. Tijuana, Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, and Guadalajara airports saw increases in passenger traffic of 44.4%, 39.9%, 25.1%, and 4.2% respectively.

From January to July this year, Los Cabos as a destination has welcomed 4,121,200 visitors, of which 2,720,100 were international arrivals (the overwhelming majority from the U.S.), and 1,401,100 were domestic arrivals from within México. In 2021 during the same period, Los Cabos received 2,997,600 visitors, meaning in the course of a single year, tourism arrivals jumped by 37%. Even when compared with the pre-pandemic numbers from 2019 (3,438,200), the destination has seen a massive increase in tourism (about 20%).
