The Baja California Peninsula consists largely of mountainous desert and because of the dry climate it is not nearly as fertile as areas on the mainland. Initially, building and living in this region was not easy. Cabo San Lucas and Los Cabos have relied heavily on the legendary sportfishing to draw tourists to this area for their vacation travels. In the past ten years, world-class golf and more luxury resorts and hotels have expanded the attraction to this area. In the early-nineties, however, the tourism industry began to increase dramatically and Cabo San Lucas has continued to flourish. With the number of world-class beach resorts and spas that have been built in the past five to ten years, and the number currently under development, it has been astounding to witness the transformation of this once sleepy little fishing village into a major tourist destination. The upsurge in tourism has created high demands on the hotel industry and rapid development has become a necessity. The persistent growth is reflected in the increased number of hotel rooms in the region. In 1998 the total combined number of hotel rooms in the Los Cabos area was 5,731 compared to the number in 2002 of 8,907 rooms, and growing. Those numbers are expected to reach 9,954 rooms by the end of 2003, a figure that almost doubles the number of rooms in the area in only five years. This increase is primarily attributed to the construction of new hotels but it is also due to the fact that existing hotels and resorts are finding the need to expand their total capacity.
