According to the
data gathered few years ago, Mexico was ranked 8th among the
countries with the highest number of international visitors, and indeed tourism
is an important source of income for the country. The activities connected to
tourism produce in Mexico 8% of total GDP, providing employment to almost 2
million people. Many tourists coming from both the Old Continent and any other
part of the world decide to spend their holidays in Mexico, renting a house in
Cancun or in other cities.
An evidence of
the importance of tourism for Mexican economy is also given by the large
promotion carried out abroad: the Mexican Tourism Promotion Agency has its
offices in many European cities (Madrid, London, Paris, Rome, Frankfurt), in
the States (Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Chicago), in Canada
(Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal), in South America (Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires,
Santiago), in Tokyo and Beijing. All these “appendixes” are meant to promote
Mexico as a travel destination, encouraging foreign visitors to discover the
landscapes, the culture, the habits and the typical products of this wonderful
land, even the ones that are still hidden and are not well-known yet. To do
that the Mexican Tourism Promotion Agency organizes specific information and
promotional campaigns as well as events (like the big Aztec exhibition that was
organized few years ago in Rome) that can attract the attention of foreign
tourists to all that concerns Mexico.
But what are the
most popular Mexican travel destinations? Many tourists decide to stay in a
hotel in Puerto Aventuras, for example, on the Mayan Riviera, the ideal place
if you are looking for clear sea and white and fine sand. Other strengths of
Puerto Aventuras are its tropical colours, the possibility it gives you to do
various sports, from water skiing to windsurfing, from sailing to jet skiing,
not to mention golf, and to interact with dolphins, sea lions and other marine
mammals. Another notably appreciated destination is Tulum, which is well-known
also for its Maya ruins: Tulum is one of the Mexican coastal areas where the
ruins of the Mayas are best preserved, and for this reason it is very
appreciated not only by those who are looking for sea and sun, but also by
those who wish to discover the history and culture of those places. However,
sun and sea are certainly not missing in Tulum, and if you decide to rent a
house in Tulum you will definitely immerse yourself in a real earthly paradise,
in one of those postcard images that everybody would like to see with their own
eyes sooner or later, to leave the chaos of the city and the daily routine
behind, and to enjoy a really dreamy holiday.
