Mexico Prepares for Annual Tourist Tradeshow

Mexico is gearing up for the 31st annual Travel Tradeshow, scheduled from March 26 to 29 in Acapulco.

A one-stop shopping opportunity for international and local buyers and sellers of tourism, the event is credited with generating as much as 40 percent of Mexico´s annual tourism sales as a result of agreements inked at the trade fair, according to organizers.

Last year´s show attracted some 1,100 buyers, including tour operators, travel agents and meeting planners from 25 countries, as well as 300 Mexican suppliers. Mexican President Vicente Fox is scheduled to attend this year´s trade show.
