MEXICO CITY – The reforms that have been approved by the Mexican Congress this year — including the energy reform — show that the work done by Mexico’s political parties has been guided by their interest in changing Mexico, rather than partisan politics, Tourism Secretary Claudia Ruiz Massieu said on Sunday.
Ruiz Massieu’s comments were made while meeting with the National Tourism Business Council (CNET), where she said that the proof of this is that tourism is on the national agenda as a tool for Mexico’s economic and social development.
“The political and energy reforms show the ability of the administration to create legislative majorities,” she said. “These are historic reforms that will surely have positive implications for the coming generations.”
Ruiz Massieu went on to say that, under her leadership, the Tourism Secretariat (Sectur) has focused on raising the quality level of Mexico’s tourist destinations, which she claims will attract more visitors and generate more economic activity.
CNET President Pablo Azcárraga Andrade thanked Ruiz Massieu for her determination to focus on quality, adding that the image of Mexico abroad has improved recently, which he said has helped lead to an increase in visitors.
According to figures released by Sectur, 2013 has been a good year for Mexican tourism, as the country received 8.7 million visitors by air during the first nine months in the year, which represents an 8.6 percent increase on 2012.
