Los Cabos Resorts Open For Business As
Hurricane Jimena Bypasses Destination
Los Cabos,
September 3rd, 2009
The Los Cabos Convention & Visitors Bureau is pleased to
announce that the destination was spared significant impact from Hurricane Jimena. Hotels and resorts are fully operational and all
tourism services throughout Los Cabos have resumed.
According to the NationalHurricaneCenter,
Hurricane Jimena was officially downgraded to
Category 1 status as it traveled in a northwest direction away from Los Cabos. Additionally, the Mexican government has
discontinued the hurricane warning for the entire southern part of the Baja California
peninsula, the location of the resort destination.
From the beginning, the
Los Cabos Convention & Visitors Bureau was well
prepared for the approach of Hurricane Jimena. The municipality of Los Cabos
did not lose electricity throughout the duration of the storm and there have
been no reports of injuries. Additionally, the San JosedelCabo
International Airport (SJD) and the Port of Los Cabos have re-opened.
"While we were well prepared for the storm, we are obviously very
relieved that Hurricane Jimena passed us by,"
says Gonzalo Franyutti, President of the Los Cabos Convention & Visitors Bureau, "Now our
guests can continue their vacations and enjoy our fine resorts and services
without further concern."
