Key Highlights

* Mexico receives the tenth-highest volume of foreign tourists in the world.
* Mexico has a number of popular tourist attractions, such as the ancient Meso-American ruins, which is the most-visited tourist destination by inbound tourists in Latin America, and the second-most visited destination in the Americas.
* The Mexican government has recognized the importance of travel and tourism to the country's economic growth and, as a result, has increased its efforts to attract visitors. For example, the government signed the National Tourism Accord in 2011, with the aim of turning Mexico into one of the five-leading tourist destinations in the world by 2018.
* Mexico also launched the Mayan tourism campaign 'Mundo Maya 2012' (Mayan World 2012) to promote the legacy of Mayan culture in the country.
* Government investment in tourism reached MXN4 billion (US$300 million) in 2010, a 200% increase over figures from 2006. Investments were even greater in 2011, with MXN6.8 billion (US$530.2 million) invested in promotional activities alone.
* The total revenue generated by airlines reached MXN99.9 billion (US$8.1 billion) in 2011. Full service carriers accounted for the highest proportion of the total revenue generated by airlines with a share of 78%, followed by low cost carriers with a 19.8% share and charter carriers with a 2.2% share.
* The Mexican hotel market extends from the North East to the Central part of the country, with approximately 45% of Mexico's hotels, concentrated in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey and beach areas such as Acapulco, Cancun and the Gulf Coast. This concentration is even greater among budget and mid-scale hotels.
* Mexican car rentals through online sites increased significantly in 2010 and 2011, with approximately 95% of these rentals generated by travel agents and tour operators that offer car rental services through their websites.
* The revenues of Mexican travel intermediaries companies are expected to record a CAGR of 3.70% from 2011 to 2016, to reach a projected value of MXN26.3 billion (US$2.1 billion) in 2016. This growth is expected to be driven by an increase in domestic, outbound and inbound tourism due to Mexico's overall economic growth, the increasing penetration of the country's low-cost airlines, and a greater demand for package tours than free or independent travel.
