In the context of the International Tourism Fair (Fitur) in Madrid, Spain, a state delegation will undertake a visit to the country, where they will announce investments set to be established in Querétaro, according to the Secretary of Sustainable Development (Sedesu), Marco Antonio Del Prete Tercero.

Querétaro Representation at Fitur
Moreover, the state will have representation at Fitur, taking place from January 21 to 25, where Mexico will participate as the partner country for the 2026 edition.

New Madrid-Querétaro Flight Enhances Travel and Economic Growth
This initiative coincides with the inauguration of the Madrid-Querétaro flight, which landed at Querétaro International Airport (AIQ) on December 20. An increase in traveler exchange is anticipated, along with the economic impact of tourism facilitated by this new route. The flight is operated using an Airbus 350-900 with a capacity for 432 passengers, as per Sedesu’s head.
“The economic impact is quite extensive, as it not only includes passengers coming to consume but also the exchange of goods.
