October 8th, 2009On Friday, Sept. 25, Thomas Lloyd, founder and president of TopMexicoRealEstate.com, was sworn in as a board member of the Committee for Honor and Justice of AMPI Riviera Maya (a branch of the Mexican Association of Real Estate Professionals, AMPI), for the upcoming year.
Along with the new board, Wilberth Gutiérrez Alvarez was sworn in as the new president. The ceremony was attended by the Governor of the state Felix Gonzalez Canto, the mayor of Solidarity – Playa del Carmen’s municipality – Roman Quian Alcocer, and the president of AMPI Mexico, Pedro Trueba de Torres. The ceremony took place in the Real Estate Business Center in Cancun.
In the speeches delivered at the ceremony, a message of encouragement and confidence prevailed. The new president of AMPI Riviera Maya stated his commitment to promoting foreign investment and contributing their talents in the development of the area.
“You can be sure,” stated Gutierrez, “that we, the Real Estate professionals of the Riviera Maya, have much to contribute in this regard, promoting foreign investment and contributing our talents to the development of the area.”
Pedro Trueba, the president of AMPI, reiterated his commitment and that of AMPI to make the Riviera Maya a model of sustainable development which continues to draw substantial foreign investment to the area.
The Governor of Quintana Roo likewise expressed his confidence; he predicted that the state’s recovery from the recession will be among the best, calling Q. Roo “the state with the most important recoveries,” as the area’s recovery from past difficulties has shown. Gonzalez referred to the difficulties experienced by the global real estate market and, of course, Quintana Roo, which, despite the world-wide situation, has managed to achieve an annual growth of 7%, the highest of all states in Mexico.
Gonzalez said that a prime objective of the state is to consolidate various projects to improve the infrastructure that gives value and momentum to all other properties and products handled by AMPI, and support the foreign investment which this industry draws. As an example he mentioned the benefits that the new international airport would bring to the Riviera Maya Real Estate region.
“We value AMPI’s work as a premier partner in the daily effort to maintain and boost the state economy,” the governor said. ”We’re going to come out of this situation consolidated, with the figures and numbers to show it.”
For his part, the mayor of Solidaridad, Roman Quian, congratulated AMPI and acknowledged that their entrepreneurial skills are helping in generating jobs and attracting foreign investments to the Playa del Carmen Real Estate area.
“I’m sure the work you have what it takes to fulfill the mission, the vision and the objectives of this association,” he said. He invited investors to bring capital to Playa del Carmen, and said that to “think big” is to think about Playa del Carmen.
