Mexico City expected to recover tourists this summer

El Economista

Mexico City Tourism Secretary Alejandro Rojas Díaz Durán said that tourism is expected to recover 90 percent of its regular activity during the summer.

He predicts nearly 2 million people will visit the capital, making it the premier tourist destination in the country.

Of those who travel to Mexico City, 24 percent routinely come from other nation and 63 percent are from elsewhere in Mexico.

Rojas Durán Díaz said he will meet with the country's tourism secretary, Rodolfo Elizondo Torres, to create programs to support promotion of Mexico City tourism in international and national markets because the federal district was most affected by a drop in visitors because of this spring's flu outbreak.
