Quintana Roo. President López Obrador announced that the state of Quintana Roo will receive MX$42 billion (US$2 billion) in 2023 for highway infrastructure, road building, airports and the Mayan Train. The president explained that these resources will translate to new jobs and better development opportunities for the entity. 

Moreover, Minister of the Navy José Rafael Ojeda said that in coordination with the state’s government and municipalities, the federal government has been able to collect 52,000 tons of seaweed bladderwrack, which has been a problem in the entity as it has reduced the number of tourists.
