While speculators speculate about where the next Tianguis trade show will be held, it would seem many do not really care. Attendance at the last such event dropped to an all-time low, with ony 850 potential buyers showing up, compared to 1,183 registered in 2010. The number of negotiating appointments fell from 21,600 in 2008 to 17,000 last March. Apparently the Tourism Ministry was counting on a change of venue to improve these numbers, but such a change now appears unlikely for 2012.
