Manzanillo (/ˌmænzəˈniːoʊ/, /ˌmɑːn-/; Spanish pronunciation: [mansaˈniʝo]) is the most populous city in the Mexican state of Colima and seat of Manzanillo Municipality. The city, located on the Pacific Ocean, contains Mexico's busiest port, responsible for handling Pacific cargo for the Mexico City area. It is the largest-producing municipality for the business sector and tourism in the small state of Colima. Recent data from DataMexico indicates that Manzanillo has relatively young workforce, with high economic participation in service, retail, and logistics industries connected to the city's port activity.
The city has been referred to as the "sailfish capital of the world". Since 1957, it has hosted national and international fishing competitions, such as the Dorsey Tournament. Manzanillo has developed as a destination for international tourism.
