Good Statistics

According to the country’s central bank, 1.9 million travelers from abroad arrived in Mexico during the first two months of the year, an increase of about 3 percent over 2011. Figures published by the Tourism Ministry indicate that the number was even higher, noting that the travelers added $2.2 billion to the economy, spending 4.8 percent more than they did last year.
