Income from tourism declined by 10.6 percent during the first two months of 2011, according to figures released by Mexico’s central bank. After the announcement yesterday about the U.S. State Department discouraging travel to an increasing number of Mexican states, the information should come as no surprise. The total figure came to slightly more than $2 billion. Individual tourism spending also declined by 5.8 percent to an average of $47 per day per person.
