Because the hotels hosting the G-20 Summit were fully equipped with everything necessary so that their guests did not have the need to leave the facilities, this event is not reporting the economic spillover that was expected in the city of Los Cabos.
Both restaurants and agencies and shops have indicated that they intended to benefit from the arrival of about ten thousand visitors, but that their income has been static and without any positive movement.
By recommendations of the security forces of the Summit, visitors did not leave the hotel establishments, neither to know the destination nor to consume. Instead, hotels provide all kinds of services, from food, to rest, spa, massages, access to technologies and entertainment: bar with live music and 24-hour meals.
Members and participants of the Summit, ministers, leaders, press professionals, no one went out to consume any service in the vicinity of the hotel. Even souvenirs to take as souvenirs to the country of origin were mounted in modules selling handicrafts inside the hotels.
According to merchants in the area, the same hotels offered entertainment shows with a mariachi playing live and if any official wanted to know the municipality of Los Cabos he did it under a large security deployment and without getting off the vehicles.
