Family and friends of the winners were also present, making the event a space of emotion and recognition.

In her speech, the Governor highlighted:

It is an honor to be able to make this recognition, the first of others to come, to extraordinary beings like them, who have dedicated their lives to seeing this and other tourist destinations in the state grow”.

Daniel Arroyo expressed his gratitude on behalf of the family:

“This award honors my father’s dedication, integrity and love for Mexico. His vision inspires us to continue building a prosperous future for our region. We deeply appreciate this recognition, which perpetuates his legacy in the heart of the Mexican Caribbean and beyond.”
