Lifestyles Profile - Hector Pérez
Tourism Coordinator
By Josef Kandoll


As executive coordinator of the consulting committee for tourism of the municipal government, Hector Pérez doesn’t believe in treading softly, even if he treads on his own toes.

One of the important changes being suggested is a more equitable taxation of properties along the waterfront.

His restaurant, Tequilas, would be affected, but, as he says, “we all must play our part.” Their main project involves creating a patronage of the downtown historic district from the Cuale River to the Hotel Rosita, not only for operation but image as well.

The taxation base comes up in relation to finding a funding source for further publicity programs and, more importantly, proper marketing techniques and studies.
