Mexico City
Mexico received a record 32 million tourists in 2015, enough to make the Aztec nation the 10th most popular tourist destination in the world, according to the Mexican government, reports yahoo.com news.
The top destinations for international visitors in 2015 were the federal capital Mexico City, Cancun and Acapulco.
Tourism accounts for 8.5 per cent of Mexico’s gross domestic product and the sector is growing faster than the economy as a whole, Tourism Minister Enrique de la Madrid told a press conference.
The number of international visitors has increased 37 per cent increase since the start of President Enrique Pena Nieto’s administration in December 2012.
The expansion in tourism has created 800,000 direct jobs and another 1.2 million indirect jobs over the last 10 years.
International arrivals were boosted by special events such as the October 30-November 1 Mexico Grand Prix, which brought 366,174 spectators to Mexico City.
