Tourism Minister in China


Accompanied by members of her team, Tourism Minister Claudia Ruiz Massieu is in China this week, hoping to develop more travel to Mexico from that country. Tourism between the two countries has been increasing, with an estimated 31 percent more Chinese arriving in Mexico thus far this year, compared to 2012, when the increase was 29 percent. The numbers themselves, however, remain miniscule. One aim is to increase direct air connection, now limited to Aeroméxico’s flights to Shanghai via Tijuana. The two countries have agreed to declare 2015 the Year of Chinese-Mexico Tourism.
