| b. | Occupancy levels increased by 5.9 percentage points, mainly in the hotels located in northern Mexican cities, primarily in Chihuahua and Hermosillo, where the strength of the manufacturing and industrial sectors continue to generate demand; as well as the properties located in Guadalajara and Toluca, which reflect positive results driven by the recently implemented commercial strategies. | |
