Former tourism chief moves up

Some will remember Pedro Joaquin Coldwell, who served as tourism minister from 1990 until 1994. He recently took over as chairman of the PRI, the Party of the Intuitionalized Revolution. The PRI governed Mexico for 70 years and is expected to elect the country’s next president. Joaquin Coldwell is the son of a hotelier and tourism pioneer in Cozumel. Young Pedro went on to serve as governor of Quintana Roo, then congressman and is now a senator.
