International travelers spent nearly $6 billion in Mexico during the first five months of 2013, Tourism Minister Claudia Ruiz Massieu told the Tourism Committee at the Chamber of Deputies. This was a 6.8 percent increase over the previous year. The minister, however, said that Mexico has not been keeping up with its international competition. Now that the Party of the Institutionalized Revolution (PRI) once again controls the federal government — after an absence of 12years — Ruiz Massieu promised that Mexican tourism once again will recover its competitive edge.
