The goal is to offer tourists and residents the best in culinary experiences. He also mentioned the 13% of travelers have indicated that the local gastronomy is the main reason for visiting Los Cabo’s.
F Crowe México, for the third consecutive year, joins the project as the entity responsible for ensuring the transparency and legality in the evaluation process and its results.
