Overview
- Noé Peralta, Acapulco’s tourism chief, said reports of cancellation, relocation, or a license sale for the Mexican Open tennis tournament are false and confirmed plans include 2027.
- A 24 Horas opinion column claimed talks with a Saudi investment fund could shift the event’s license, a scenario not confirmed by organizers and rejected by local officials.
- Peralta said the tournament generates about 800 million pesos in one week and supports more than 10,000 indirect jobs in the port.
- He noted a 26-year run for the event in Acapulco and said the 2026 edition drew over 80,000 attendees.
- Officials link the event to a broader relaunch that includes restored lodging capacity, a Cancún–Acapulco flight set for April 2, and the Tianguis Turístico trade fair from April 27 to 30.
