Gloria Guevara is Mexico’s new tourism minister, replacing Rodolfo Elizondo, who only a week ago declared that he had no intention of resigning. President Felipe Calderon announced the change this morning (Wednesday).
Gloria Guevara had been general director for Sabre Travel Network for several years, holds not one but two MBAs and is regarded as an expert in the travel industry. Sabre is a leader in computerized reservations systems. The new minister will have her work cut out for her. Statistics released by the ministry she will head show hotel occupancy down during the final week of February by as much as 78 percent in Los Cabos, 43 percent in Manzanillo and 10 percent in Cancun. Only Acapulco is doing better than last year.
Elizondo is expected to be named chief organizer of the next Climate Change Summit to be held in Cancun starting Nov. 29.
