Phasing a PIP in Felipe Carrillo Puerto

Demand is year-round for city hotels and seasonal for eco-tourism, so works can often be scheduled with partial closure. We schedule room blocks and public areas around this pattern and agree each phase with the brand and revenue manager.

Approvals for a conversion in Felipe Carrillo Puerto

The municipality is less saturated than the coast, licences are faster, and many projects involve ejido land that needs clear title before construction. Life-safety and accessibility items in the PIP are coordinated with these authorities from the first survey.

Logistics in Felipe Carrillo Puerto
