Tourism Agenda


A document called “Agenda for Tourism” is scheduled to be signed by President Felipe Calderón by the end of this month. Among other things, it calls for attending to 50 million foreign and 300 million domestic tourists who will pump $40 billion into the economy by 2018. To accomplish this, the document declares that accessibility must be improved along with advertising and promotion. Even before it is published, the document is being criticized by various private sector leaders who note that none of the officials signing the agenda will be in office in 2018.
