In this episode of The Nick Fong Podcast, Nick sits down with Agustín Olachea, President of the La Paz Hotel Association, for a deep conversation about the identity, history, and future of La Paz, Baja California Sur.

Recorded in a spectacular historic setting in the heart of La Paz, Casa 1880, this episode goes far beyond tourism headlines. Agustín shares a powerful multi-generational family story rooted in Baja dating back to the late 1800s and the Mexican Revolution, offering rare perspective on leadership, legacy, and long-term vision.

Together, they explore why La Paz has intentionally chosen a different path from Cabo—one focused on balance, sustainability, community, and quality of life. From responsible tourism and environmental protection to economic impact and global competition, this conversation explains what makes La Paz one of Mexico’s most compelling and misunderstood destinations.
