The National Tourism Program presented this week by President Enrique Peña Nieto already is drawing criticism. While the attention given the travel industry seems to be appreciated, Jorge Hernandez, head of the private sector’s National Tourism Confederation, expressed regret that no mention was made of the decline in cruise ship traffic nor in the need to improve air service. Many observers hoped that the president would comment on the possibility of allowing official pre-clearance at Mexico airports for passengers bound for the United States as is done in Canada and several Caribbean countries. Others grumped that invitations to attend the event on the Riviera Nayarit went out only on Monday, too late for many to change their plans and attend.
