10 Tourist Routes to be Promoted


As promised, Tourism Minister Gloria Guevara has announced the creation of 10 routes designed to take tourists to various less-visited parts of the country. Vacationers, it has been pointed out — and this includes Mexicans, who account for most of the pleasure travel in the country — generally seek out seaside destinations or resorts with swimming pools and seldom do much exploring.

This minister would like to see tourists take in the wine-producing areas of Baja California, the aquatic marvels found off the shores of Baja California Sur, the Tarahmara country of Chihuahua, the Thousand Flavors of Mole found in the neighboring states of Tlaxcala, Puebla and Oaxaca, plus much more. Speaking to tour operators and members of the press, Guevara urged these to join in promoting the program.
