President Enrique Peña Nieto, on a visit to the Pacific coast state of Guerrero, promised that its famous resort, Acapulco, would once again host the Tianguis trade show, but not until 2015. Commitments have been made for the event to be held in Puebla next year and on the Riviera Maya in 2014. Acapulco had been host city since 1976, but starting last year the event became “itinerant,” the result of declining attendance. In 1976, Acapulco was the only internationally famous resort destination in Mexico. Today there are many and Acapulco has gone into decline. Peña Nieto promised to reverse that. Tourism Minister Claudia Ruiz Massieu calls Acapulco her home town.
