Travel to Mexico City is 8 percent greater than it was this time last year, Miguel Angel Mancera, head of the Federal District government, declared in his first “state of the city” report. Although the Mexico City airport always has led the nation in arrivals, most passengers simply change planes there. Mancera based his figures on hotel occupancy. Most visitors continue to be business travelers and most are domestic, but Mancera maintains that a growing number of foreign tourists now arrive, attracted by the variety of accommodations, wide choice and restaurants, museums, archaeological sites and the excitement of being in one of the world’s great metropolitan areas.
