CLARA, Calif. and LOS CABOS,
Mexico, May 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the
San Francisco 49ers and the Los
Cabos Tourism Board, as part of a multi-year collaboration,
announced the "Day with the 49ers" clinic, taking place in
Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur,
Mexico on May 31, 2024. The
initiative looks to continue strengthening Los Cabos' mission to bring growth and
opportunities to the local community through tourism efforts. The
"Day with the 49ers" will take place at the Bicentenario Stadium
with 100 kids and young athletes from the Los Cabos community. This is the first effort
of its type in Los Cabos, and
participants will have the chance to train like the 49ers and meet
featured guests.
The event will feature Patrick
Willis, a legendary Hall of Fame player; Diana Flores, World Flag Football Champion
and Los Cabos Brand Ambassador; and Rodrigo Esponda, Managing Director of the Los
Cabos Tourism Board. Their combined expertise and leadership will
provide unique insights and inspiration to the local community,
creating an ideal environment for education and motivation.
"Through strategic partnerships with organizations that align
with Los Cabos' wellness vision,
we are not only enhancing our status as a destination that promotes
wellbeing but showing that strategic partnerships can bring strong
benefits to our local community," said Rodrigo Esponda, Managing Director of the Los
Cabos Tourism Board. "Los Cabos is
a place where athletes can come to recharge, heal, and find
whatever their idea of wellness is. We are passionate about
ensuring our efforts as a tourism board benefit the local
community, which relies heavily on visitors. This clinic is a
perfect example of how our efforts can bring truly unique and
beneficial opportunities to the people who reside in this beautiful
destination."
"We're thrilled to introduce our 49ers EDU curriculum to the
Los Cabos community, blending
STEAM education with the excitement of football," stated
Brent Schoeb, Chief Marketing &
Revenue Officer of the San
Francisco 49ers. "Expanding football's reach is important to
us, so we're excited to grow the game while highlighting community
development and enriching opportunities for those who call
Los Cabos home."
The clinic underscores the Los Cabos Tourism Board's commitment
to inclusivity and diversity, bringing together sports enthusiasts
and families while offering enriching, health-positive experiences
to all who visit its shores. Both the Los Cabos Tourism Board and
San Francisco 49ers are excited
for a day filled with learning and the spirit of competition, all
set against the backdrop of beautiful Los
Cabos.
This partnership between the 49ers and Los Cabos
significantly contributes to Los
Cabos' strategic objectives to boost tourist inflow and
solidify its market position across the U.S., particularly
benefiting from the San Francisco
market. With an average of 26 direct flights a week from
San Francisco, Los Cabos is just a convenient 3-hour flight
away, making it a favorite destination for Bay Area residents. From
January to March of this year, Los
Cabos welcomed 41,350 tourists from San Francisco, marking a 35.9% increase
compared to the same period in 2023. Currently, California accounts for 23.6% of Los Cabos' visitors. Los Cabos is honored to be a preferred
destination for residents of such a distinguished state and city,
thanks largely to our partnership with the 49ers.
