eco-tourism will be achieved through innovation and competition.

The President said that through a policy of development and promotion,

Mexicans alike. The opportunity to explore Mexico should be attainable by
all Mexicans.” Claudia Ruiz Massieu, Mexico’s Secretary of Tourism, said
tourism is a priority as a driver of growth and employment. She also

“I have no doubt that tourism is the future of Mexico. Under the President’s
leadership, tourism will be used as an engine to drive development for all
Mexicans,” she said. “Through intra-governmental collaboration and true
partnership with the private sector, the tourism industry in Mexico will
thrive.” The governors of the states of Jalisco, Quintana Roo, Sinaloa, San
Luis Potosi, Tlaxcala, Yucatan and the governor elect of Jalisco attended
the presentation along with local ministers of tourism, representatives from
the legislative and judiciary powers of the state, diplomats, businessmen
and other special invitees.
