Tourism Infrastructure

New Mexico's commitment to strengthening tourism infrastructure remains central to maintaining the state's competitiveness as a premier travel destination. Strategic investments in place-making assets enjoyed by both visitors and residents ensure that the experiences highlighted through the New Mexico Tourism Department's advertising efforts are supported by high quality infrastructure. Delivering on the New Mexico True brand promise, "Adventure steeped in culture", requires sustained focus on enhancing visitor experiences and expanding economic development opportunities statewide.

Historically, this page has provided recommendations for tourism-related infrastructure projects developed in collaboration with New Mexico's seven Councils of Government (COGs) and in coordination with the Department of Finance and Administration's Local Government Division to align priorities with the State's Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan (ICIP). These efforts reflect a statewide, regionally informed approach to identifying projects that increase visitation, improve visitor experiences, and spur economic development.

This page is currently under construction and NMTD develops an interactive dashboard of tourism infrastructure projects supported through the Destination Forward Grant. The forthcoming dashboard will provide expanded transparency, improved accessibility to project information, and a comprehensive view of statewide investments and outcomes. Please check back soon as we build out this new reporting resource.
