In cowboy hats and riding horses, the Governor and Secretary were accompanied by mariachi bands, a dance group dressed in costumes from different Mexican states and a Mazatlán float adorned with images and promotional material of the port.
Included in the contingent were Mazatlán Mayor Carlos Felton, President of the Hotel and Tourism Association Carlos Berdegué and representatives of Sectur Sinaloa.

TransCanada reps assured the Governor that construction of the second phase of the project, the line to Mazatlán, is ahead of schedule and will start in September rather than November this year.
