November 26, 2010



About 22.6 million tourists, 80% of them from the United States and Canada, are expected to have visited Mexico by the end of 2010.

As of September, inbound tourism was up 18.8% compared with 2009 (the worst year on record) and 6% better than 2008.

Arrivals from Canada are up almost 22% over 2009 and 32% over 2008, with 1 million air arrivals this year.

And, despite the much-publicized bankruptcy of Mexicana Airlines earlier this year, air arrivals from the U.S. were up 15% compared with 2009.

The growth in visitors from other countries is even greater. Italy is up 22%; Germany, 18%; and Brazil, 94%.
