Mexico Tourism Business Opportunities
Mexico Tourism Business Opportunities - But
the growing tourism opportunities in Mexico
can also be found all over. Approximately, 20 million American visit
Mexico every year. The majority of Americans currently visiting Mexico
are older than 64,
while Mexico is also a favorite among American families. Almost, 29% of
Americans visiting the country are
honeymooners, and 80% of the country’s total American visitors
are interested in seeing small towns and villages, learning about
folklore, culture, cuisine and natural wonders.
Among the Mexican states currently working toward bolstering its
tourism offerings is Oaxaca, which is developing the destination of
Huatulco. In fact, 12 government secretaries and entities, the
government of the State of Oaxaca and the municipal government of Santa
Maria Huatulco, as well as the Huatulco Hotel Association, representing
private industry, signed an inter-institutional agreement that
officially launched several programs to generate economic growth to the
area.
These new programs include the intent to attract new investors in order to develop a minimum of 2,500 new hotel rooms in the next five years. Already, AMResorts is planning two new Huatulco properties: a 438-room Dreams Resort, to open in December; and a 393-room property, to open in winter 2009-2010. To fill these rooms, Huatulco is also improving its transportation infrastructure, with two new highways under construction and the runway at the Huatulco International Airport being extended. Moreover, additional tourism services and activities are being created, among them the Copalita eco-archeological park.
