According to reports of the Office of Travel and Tourism Industries (OTTI), the arrival of American tourists during the period of January to April of this year is the best level in the last three years.
OTTI said that during that four month period 8.192 million tourists from the United States visited México. During the same period last year that number was 6.847 million. The first four months of 2012 saw 7.6 million American tourists.
The primary destination for the visiting tourists was Cancun, although OTTI noted that in recent years areas that promote culture and adventure have been growing dramatically.
In order to continue the growth in tourism from the United States the Ministry of Tourism has launched several campaigns to promote tourism, including Live it to Believe it.
During the period of January to April 2014, the largest share of México’s tourists came from the United States with 42.2 percent of the total; followed by Europe with 14.2 percent, the Caribbean with 12.3 percent, Canada with 11.8 percent; Asia with 7.6 percent; Central America with 4.8 percent, and South America with 2.8 percent.
