Tourism in Mexico has shown a significant increase last year and is expected to gain momentum in the next five years. The country recorded 83.2 million domestic travellers in 2015, resulting in an annual average growth rate of four percent, said Tourism Minister Enrique de la Madrid Cordero, while anticipating a rise in the numbers up to 100 million by 2020.
In the bid to boost tourism, the government plans to support social tourism projects while making a coordinated effort in promoting the domestic travel sector. Mexicans currently account for 82% of tourist spending in Mexico.
“We want to take advantage of the weak exchange rate, so that instead of going abroad tourists will explore local destinations. This has to be linked to the growth of the economy, which is doing well, because the consumption is up,” said the Minister.
More than developing new destinations, the Ministry of Tourism is currently focusing on consolidating the existing ones to efficiently exploit their potential in terms of resources.
