President Enrique Peña Nieto is expected to officially close the 2013 Tianguis Turistico trade show, opening Sunday in Puebla. Last year the event took place in Puerto Vallarta and the neighboring Riviera Nayarit. Next year the Mexican Caribbean gets its turn. First held during 1976 in Acapulco, the trade show last year became “itinerant.” The show brings together tour operators with the suppliers of the services they need (destinations, hotels, transportation, etc). This year, buyers from 33 countries are expected to attend. Puebla, some 70 miles east of Mexico City, is noted, among other things, for its food, ceramics, Spanish-colonial architecture, ancient pyramids and enormous Volkswagen factory.
