Having announced that the Acapulco Convention Center was to be closed, authorities now say it is being refurbished, a task that will take an estimated 24 months to complete. Meanwhile, it remains open and will be the venue for the Tianguis Turistico trade show in April. The center opened some 35 years ago to house the annual meeting of the American Society of Travel Agents.
Work also is continuing to complete the Mundo Imperial convention facility near the airport. Mundo Imperial, which includes a large hotel, shopping center and auditorium, failed to meet scheduled completion dates because of the worldwide economic slowdown.
