October 22, 2004
MAZATLAN, Mexico -- Mexico's President Vicente Fox honored Ernesto Coppel as "Entrepreneur of the Year" within the tourism category for his continued dedication, community involvement and the growth of Pueblo Bonito Hotels & Resorts.

Since the Coppel family opened their first property, Pueblo Bonito Mazatlan, in 1989, the success of its development has attracted a loyal following. Since then, Ernesto Coppel has opened four other properties, and a fifth on its way.

"It is a very special honor to be given this award by President Fox," said Ernesto Coppel, CEO of Pueblo Bonito Hotels & Resorts. "It has been my dream to build the most beautiful hotels in Mexico, and it is my great pleasure to give back to the community what they deserve."

Ernesto Coppel and Pueblo Bonito Hotels & Resorts have provided many communities with roads, schools, housing, bus transportation, and jobs as well as improving environmental development while minimizing their impact on ecosystems.

All Chambers of Commerce in Mexico nominated candidates for this award. Ernesto Coppel was nominated by the Baja State and Sinaloa State (Mazatlan). Award recipients were determined by an election.

Pueblo Bonito Hotels & Resorts are the leading hotels of Mexico, offering uncommon amenities, unsurpassed service, and the warmth of a luxurious Mexican home. The collection includes three properties in Cabo San Lucas -- Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort & Spa, Pueblo Bonito Rose, and Pueblo Bonito Los Cabos, two in Mazatlan -- Pueblo Bonito Mazatlan and Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay, and one in Puerto Vallarta -- Samba Vallarta, an all-inclusive resort by Pueblo Bonito. In 2005, the company plans to open Pueblo Bonito Pacifica, a wellness-oriented luxury hotel in Cabo San Lucas and to break ground on Pueblo Bonito Punta Mita, a five-star resort in Puerto Vallarta.
