Saltillo Prepares Downtown Businesses for Archery World Cup Final
Local merchants across the historic center of Saltillo are rolling out special promotions, menu items, and discounts ahead of the Archery World Cup Final, scheduled to run from September 10 to 13. According to reports from the region, the tournament brings 32 elite archers representing 17 countries to the Plaza de Armas, transforming the city center into a major international sporting hub.
Alan Christian Duarte, president of the Association of Merchants of the Historic Center of Saltillo, highlighted the economic and cultural significance of hosting the event. “For us it is a historic opportunity. We want those who come to enjoy Archery to also walk our streets, enter our restaurants, cafeterias and shops and know everything the Historic Center offers,” Duarte stated in regional reports.
Economic Strategies and Special Offers for Visitors
Establishments throughout the city have spent weeks developing promotional strategies to capture the influx of domestic and international travelers. Local business owners noted that individual shops are setting their own discount structures—ranging between 10 and 20 percent—alongside themed menus and specialty beverages.
Duarte emphasized that the collective approach aims to maintain affordability for both tourists and residents. Rather than raising rates during a high-profile international showcase, many downtown vendors are lowering prices to encourage greater participation and foot traffic throughout the commercial zone. Coordination with merchants at the Mercado Juárez and surrounding trade sectors is intended to distribute economic benefits widely across the city center.

Beyond retail discounts, organizers have highlighted the safety, local hospitality, and vibrant atmosphere awaiting travelers in the downtown corridor.
