The Chinese market stood out as an issuer of tourists to Mexico in 2018, when 167,663 tourists arrived in the Aztec nation from China, which meant a growth of 18.3 percent compared to the previous year.
The Secretariat of Tourism recognized that travelers from that nation are attracted by the Mexican City destinations, Queretaro (center), Campeche (southeast), Merida (southeast) and San Cristobal de las Casas (southeast), among others, where there are attractions related to architecture, archaeology, Mayan culture, as well as those linked to nature.
The expenditure of Chinese tourists in 2018 stands out as a positive indicator. It was 154.8 million dollars, 20.1 percent more than in 2017.
Directors of the Ministry of Tourism estimate that the Mayan Train project, which will travel 1,525 kilometers in the south of the country (Yucatan, Quintana Roo, Campeche, Tabasco and Chiapas) through jungles, colonial cities and archeological zones, will also attract the interest of Chinese vacationers.
Authorities from the governments of Mexico and China are developing a plan to increase the influx of tourists between the two nations, especially those segments of high purchasing power.
