  • THEY EXTEND SCHEDULES AND CAPACITY FOR NATIONAL HOLIDAYS; THEY RELOCATE ROAD FILTERS FOR QUICK ENTRY TO RESIDENTS AND TOURISTS WITH QR

    Published September 3, 2020


    As part of the actions to reactivate the economy of San Miguel de Allende, the municipal government, in conjunction with representatives of hotels, restaurants and wedding planners, agreed to extend the hours and capacity of certified establishments for the Fiestas Patrias.

    Similarly, it was agreed to relocate and expand the lanes of the road filters to give priority to the passage of the residents of San Miguel de Allende and tourists with a QR code.

    Since yesterday the filter located at the exit to Querétaro was installed before the Fraccionamiento Zirándaro – coming from Querétaro -, so residents of this place and the area will no longer have to go through this device.

    The implementation of QR technology, they agreed at the meeting, allows the visitor to be assured of arriving at a safe destination, and also helps to have a sanitary control in case of possible infections. Health authorities will be able to monitor and alert visitors and service providers in the event of any contagion, which will help contain the spread of the virus in the city.

    With this measure, not only does the tourist have one more measure that guarantees a safe stay, but it also gives certainty to the inhabitants of San Miguel de Allende.

    With the adaptations to the filters and the improvements to the QR technology, proposed by the representatives of hotels, restaurants and service providers, the entrance to the city will be agile and safe for tourists, which will contribute to a fast economic reactivation.
