This refers to passengers on domestic and international flights arriving at SJD. This source (GAP) does not distinguish the nationality of passengers, but rather the origin of the flight. In its monthly reports, GAP publishes the total number of passengers who used its facilities, so the number reported in the Observatory corresponds to half (arrivals).

OAG collects information provided by airlines on flight schedules to Los Cabos on an ongoing basis and updates its system continuously, reporting what airlines have planned before a period and then reporting the total number of seats available. As a result, the number of seats available published in a given month may differ from the actual number of seats available.

IATA-MIS reports the passenger's first airport of origin and the number of stopovers made to reach their destination, unlike AFAC or IATA-PAXIS, which shows the last airport used to reach the destination. For example, if a passenger travels from Toronto to Los Cabos and made a stopover in Los Angeles, IATA-MIS shows the first origin (Toronto), while in AFAC statistics, the passenger is recorded in the statistics for Los Angeles as the point of origin.

Number of passengers who purchased their airline ticket through a travel agency. This allows the origin of the passenger to be identified, i.e., the point of departure of the ticket. The information reported by IATA-GAP therefore considers different concepts than those reported by ICF (see note 11), which refer to reservations made through certain globalizers.

The difference between the information reported by the INM and that reported by the Pacific Airport Group (GAP) is that the former refers to the visitor's country of nationality. Only those tourists who have entered Mexico through Los Cabos airport are considered. It indicates the number of people who entered the country through Los Cabos airport, while the second reports the total number of passengers on domestic or international flights, without specifying whether the passengers are of a particular nationality. In the case of the INM, if a tourist entered the country via Mexico City airport and then flew to Los Cabos on a domestic flight, they will appear in the Mexico City statistics.

The difference between the number of passengers reported by each of the aforementioned sources may vary for different reasons. When selecting in IATA-MIS, only visitors are filtered, i.e., travelers who began their journeys outside the Los Cabos airport. If a Los Cabos resident takes a flight and then returns, they will not appear in the IATA-MIS database (as long as this filter is applied) but will appear in AFAC or GAP. Since IATA counts purchased tickets, it may not consider crew or complimentary tickets that may appear in AFAC or GAP.

IATA-GAP applies only to passengers who have purchased through an IATA-affiliated travel agency. Not to be confused with the GAP source, which corresponds to SJD airport operations.

It only includes data corresponding to members of the Los Cabos Hotel Association (AHLC), and for this reason may not match other sources such as the total reported by DATATUR and/or STR-Costar, which have smaller samples. The AHLC covers on average more than 77% of the universe of hotels in Los Cabos, which is usually higher for this reason.

Only data included in AHLC reports is reported. In some months, rates for timeshares or all-inclusive resorts are not reported, nor is data for certain months. In some graphs, the average reference value for Los Cabos uses a secondary axis, so the proportion with the average rate is higher.

Average travel prices in US dollars for one person, including round-trip economy class airfare (direct or maximum one stopover), plus the cost of accommodation for 4 days and 3 nights in 6- and 7-star hotels, arriving on Thursday and departing on Sunday. To obtain the cost of accommodation, a sample of hotels within the indicated categories was selected, which operate in Los Cabos and/or competing destinations. These include: Barceló Hotels, DoubleTree by Hilton, Dreams (AM Resorts), Hard Rock Hotel, Hilton, Hyatt Regency, JW Marriott, Riu, Secrets (AM Resorts), Sheraton, The Ritz Carlton, Viceroy, W by Marriott, and Westin.

This refers to properties offered for accommodation through the online platforms Airbnb, Vrbo, and HomeAway in Los Cabos, including the three sub-destinations (Cabo San Lucas, San José del Cabo, and Ruta Escénica) and the rest of the destination.

The information provided by STR-Costar and AHLC is not necessarily comparable. The former works with a sample covering 26% of the universe, while the latter covers more than 77%.

Interest over time: the maximum value on the graph is 100. The values on the graph do not represent absolute search volume but are indexed on a scale of 1 to 100, with each point on the graph divided by the highest point (100). For example, if a period of the last 30 days is set, the highest search point is assigned a value of 100 and the rest are distributed proportionally.
