Cancun Waits for COTAL Congress to Boost Flow of South American Travelers

The upcoming conclave of the Latin America Tourism Organization (COTAL) –scheduled from May 7 to 11- will be used by the Mexican travel destination of Cancun to spearhead the recovery of the South American market to its premises, a segment whose total inflow took a double-digit slide from 12 to 2 percent over the last couple of years, the event’s Organizing Committee pointed out.

Press reports referred to the visit paid to Cancun by Matias Prisco, Enzo Furnari, and Jorge Hernandez, president and vice president of COTAL, and president de la Mexican Association of Travel Agents, respectively, who said everything is set for the congress that will be held under the slogan Cancun: A Point of Reencounter.

Over 650 tourism businesspeople from Latin America, Mexico, the Caribbean, Europe and Asia will attend the conclave.
