The Finance Ministry reports that spending by the Tourism Ministry declined by 60 percent compared to the same period (first half of 2013) last year. The Finance people offered no explanation for the decline, the greatest registered by any government entity. Apparently no harm was done. During this period, 6.2 million visitors arrived in Mexico from abroad, an increase of 8.1 percent over last year. These figures come from immigration authorities.
