Foreign Travel Declines

The number of foreigners arriving by air in Acapulco last year declined by 46 percent. It was down 12 percent in Zihuatanejo (Ixtapa) and 10 percent in Mazatlan. These figures were gathered by Francisco Madrid, a former undersecretary of tourism who now directs the School of Tourism at Anahuac University. He made his announcement shortly after President Felipe Calderon predicted that Mexico soon will rank fifth among the most visited countries in the world.
