In addition, Gonzalez referred to the singer as “a friend of Quintana Roo,” since she has always served the state and its people by promoting the beauty of the natural habitats and archeological sites, the quality of restaurants and the entertainment auditoriums and halls, among other places that can be found in the state.

He also emphasized how the naming of Paulina Rubio as Tourism Ambassador for Quintana Roo is part of the actions being taken to reactivate tourism following the H1N1 health crisis, and that after this moment, the international singer will kickoff a campaign encouraging visitors from all over the world to visit the Mexican Caribbean, as well as inviting artists to visit the destinations in Quintana Roo.

“We encourage all our allies to take part in this effort, telling the world that Mexico, Cancun and the Riviera Maya are ready to be a part of the unforgettable moments of our visitors,” he expressed. On her part, the singer Paulina Rubio thanked the governor for instilling his trust in her, and she made a commitment to promoting the state through her public image, her tours, concerts and Web pages, where she will let the world know about the recuperation and quality that Quintana Roo offers its tourists.
