Mexican Tourism on the Rise

Over the past months with not only the global economic crisis but also the Swine Flu pandemic, Mexican tourism faced a challenge.  With cancelled flights, hotel reservations, and cruise lines skipping Mexican ports of call, very few in the travel industry missed the effects of changed itineraries.  However, it appears through recent articles such as Cruise Lines Revive Mexico Tourism featured in Travel Trade and Mexico’s tourist industry recovering from Swine Flu outbreak by Travel Daily News, that Mexican tourism is on the rise.

With the start of summer and schools now out, it looks as if travelers do not stay deterred from their Mexican vacations for long.  With great travel deals and health fears now subsided, it is evident that Mexico is on vacationers’ minds.

In fact, many of the most popular Mexican destinations are part of the .travel community with:

www.VisitLosCabos.travel

www.Cancun.travel

www.Yucatan.travel

www.SanJoseIturbide.travel

www.MyMexico.travel

and many others (muchísimos más)

Perhaps this turn of events with the Mexican tourism market is also a sign of the travel industry on a gradual upturn as mentioned to featured articles in this newsletter by both Management.travel and South-Pacific.travel

Let’s hope so! (¡Ojalá!)

When asked about Casacada Expediciones’ choice to adopt .travel, Sanhueza L. commented, “Cascada Expediciones adopted the .travel domain as we thought it would be a great opportunity to validate our company as a tour provider even more so than what we already are, as the .travel domain is only available to the travel industry.” Currently, the site, www.cascada.travel, is used for all of Cascada Expediciones’ marketing and receives thousands of visitors per month and growing.
