Mayaland


The Mexican Tourism Board will invest about $10 million internationally promoting travel to the Maya region this winter. Yucatan, Quintana Roo, Campeche, Tabasco and Chiapas all should benefit. The Maya calendar, which began some 5,000 years ago, ends in December. This may not herald the end of the world, but some believe it marks the beginning of a new era. It was about 5,000 years ago that the prehistoric era ended and the first written records appeared.
