He also shared that there are local companies that are already arriving in Spain, Portugal, France, and the United Arab Emirates, among other points, and soon, there will be more. “The entrance door was Madrid, not only because of the ease we have to get there, in a single flight via Cancun, but also because of the language, but what we are looking for is not only Spain, but all the member countries of the European Economic Community; that is the real objective and, fortunately, Yucatán is becoming more and more known in Europe”, he added.
During the meeting, the representatives of the Valladolid restaurant industry expressed their concerns, and endorsed their commitment to the development of the municipality and the entity; In this sense, the president of Arvay, Jordy Abraham Martínez, expressed the interest of the sector in knowing the economic panorama and the strategies of the Executive, to continue adding efforts.
