While federal and state officials gathered on the Riviera Maya for the annual National Tourism Forum, nearby, members of the Freelance Council of the Society of American Travel Writers arrived for a meeting expected to generate publicity for what already is Mexico’s leading travel destination. The forum heard a report stating that the Tianguis tourism trade show in April had been a success. Four candidates in July’s presidential election addressed the group but had little to say about tourism. The journalists learned about future development in the area, prospects for a Maya Riviera airport, and much about the new era expected when the current Maya Calendar runs out of days in December.
