“We hoped that the end of the year events could be held with a healthy distance, but we are seeing the number of infections, and what is happening in Mexico City. and in general in the world, and we understand the health part, the medical part. But in economic matters, things are extremely complex.”

“We continue in the doldrums. Hotel owners continue to inject money into it. They have tried to maintain the workforce as much as possible, paying all taxes.”
