Last Friday, the Tourism Ministry was expected to announce the location of the 2012 Tianguis Turistico trade show. Now the date for “the envelope, please” has been pushed forward to next Monday. During the past week, representatives of 17 of Mexico’s 31 states, plus the Federal District, presented proposals. The Ministry explained that all were so good that it has been difficult to reach a decision. For 36 years, the Tianguis took place in Acapulco, but attendance has been dropping off. Making it “itinerant” is supposed to change that. It also may touch off protests from all the states that are not selected.
