One article in particular is very interesting. A version of this article was posted on Boomers Abroad by Raul O'Farrill. Unfortunately, it is no longer available. The interesting aspect of the post is Mr. O'Farrill posted President Calderon's entire speech on YouTube and provides a link to the YouTube content in his post.
We do not speak Spanish, but it was clear from the manner by which President Calderon presented his remarks that he felt the completion of the airport is a major step forward to bringing economic prosperity to the Puerto Penasco area.
As you know, Grupo Vidanta was a major factor in getting the airport plans approved and providing the funds to build the airport.

Welcome to Mar de Cortes International Airport
November 6, 2009
On November 6, 2009, President Felipe Calderon made an inauguration speech that signified the official opening of the Mar de Cortes International Airport. It was quite a celebration and many local news agencies covered the event.One article in particular is very interesting. A version of this article was posted on Boomers Abroad by Raul O'Farrill. Unfortunately, it is no longer available. The interesting aspect of the post is Mr. O'Farrill posted President Calderon's entire speech on YouTube and provides a link to the YouTube content in his post.

Geography
La Jolla de Cortes beach is one of Mexico's hidden gems. The private development by Vedanta Capital Group features seven miles of white-powder light-blue water beach front, located in the middle of the Sonora desert, surrounded by the mountains to one side, and the ocean to the other. Throughout the day beach-goers can watch the massive ebb and flow of the estuaries, creating a natural, ever-changing peninsula. http://grupomayan.com/la-jolla-de-cortes.html Fish, shrimp, squids and other local animals are revealed as the tide reaches its lowest point. Outlying sand bars create small islands.Urban Development
La Jolla de Cortes, a 25,000 acre private development, already features high end real estate and luxury resort projects as well as significant urban infrastructure such as the Mar de Cortés International Airport, Mayan Palace La Jolla de Cortes luxury resort, Luna Blanca and Luna Delia Real Estate http://www.lunab.com, Encanto Living Real Estate http://www.encantoliving.com, and an Albatross Golf Course called Peninsula de Cortes.

Environmental Leadership
La Jolla de Cortes mega resort, as with other Grupo Mayan projects, will care for the environment. Part of the 25,000 acre development is an estuary known as La Pinta. This body of water measuring over 1,732,605.93 m2 has a massive ebb flow twice a day that allows for the creation of wildlife and marine life. This section of La Jolla de Cortes has been proposed as an Ecological Conservational Area, which includes the future implementation of a scientific research project that incorporates, among other activities, monitoring rattlesnakes (Crotalus cerastes), tracking migratory birds, fostering nesting habits of oxpreys or the Fish Eagle (Pandion haliaetus ), and the Burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia), with this last species being of great importance because it is in danger of extinction, according to the Mexican Official Norm NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2001. http://www.mayanresorts.org/profeco.htmLa Jolla de Cortes will feature Grupo Mayan properties, which are usually certified as caring for the environment by Green Globe. http://grupomayan.com/environmental-leadership.html
The Missions
"The Missions" is a community of temporary housing located on the north side of the Coastal Highway inside La Jolla de Cortes, nearby Puerto Penasco supplying comfortable living standards for the first phase of construction crews nearing 3,000 in population.http://homes.point2.com/Neighborhood/MX/Sonora/Puerto-Penasco-Rocky-Point/East-Beach/Playa-Miramar/Mayan-Island-Real-Estate-Agent.aspx
