“We need to offer international travelers a quality product and unique experiences,” said Tourism Minister Claudia Ruiz Massieu as she prepared her departure for Spain where she will attend FITUR, an international travel exposition. She noted that Mexico is competing with the world in its drive to seek more tourists. Tourism is Mexico’s third source of foreign exchange, after oil exports and remittances by Mexicans working abroad. Of the three, tourism — an $11 billion industry — holds the greatest possibility to grow. Last year 23 million foreigners visited Mexico.
