Tlaxcala is preparing for an extraordinary natural spectacle that attracts thousands of tourists every year. The state becomes adorned with the radiant glow of countless fireflies, transforming the night into a mesmerizing light show. This phenomenon presents a significant opportunity for tourism development, prompting the Tourism Secretary of Hidalgo, Elizabeth Quintanar, and the Secretary of Tlaxcala, Josefina Rodríguez, to collaborate in strengthening this industry in both regions.

During a press conference held on Tuesday, Elizabeth Quintanar announced that the event, named “Tlaxcala Shines, Sanctuary of the Fireflies,” will take place from July 16 to August 13, with an anticipated influx of thousands of visitors and tourists. She extended an invitation to the people of Hidalgo to partake in this extraordinary sensory experience within the forests of Nanacamilpa-Calpulalpan. Interested individuals can secure their reservations and tickets through the Tlaxcalabrilla platform.

Quintanar emphasized the significance of this joint venture in bolstering tourism in the heart of the Republic. The project adheres to sustainability measures and offers a range of supplementary tourist services, including certified guides, accommodations, transportation, restaurants, and various other activities.

Anticipating a substantial number of visitors from Hidalgo, both states are working together to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all participants. Tlaxcala will provide tourist information about Hidalgo at information booths to further encourage visitors to explore the diverse attractions within the state.

Furthermore, Quintanar highlighted ongoing efforts to promote tourism by forging alliances with other states. In July, Hidalgo‘s promotional presence will extend to Tlaxcala, Puebla, and Mexico City, as part of a collaborative initiative between tourism authorities and governors from these regions.

In related news, the officials revealed their efforts to legalize Airbnb services without taxation in the aforementioned states. The generated revenue would be utilized to fortify the promotion of different tourist destinations, thus stimulating economic growth in the industry.

To foster continued growth and establish commercial relationships, a meeting will be arranged between the Mexican Association of Travel Agencies (AMAV) and representatives from both states. This gathering aims to facilitate business-to-business interactions and foster mutually beneficial connections.

The breathtaking spectacle of the fireflies illuminating Tlaxcala’s landscapes promises an unforgettable experience for all who visit. By joining forces, Hidalgo and Tlaxcala are poised to harness the potential of this natural wonder and elevate the tourism industry in the region to new heights.
