Although the full-year 2009 figures have not been released, data from SecretarÃa de Turismo (Ministry of Tourism, Sectur) in February 2010 showed that arrivals to Mexico continued to fall. In the first 11 months of 2009, the ministry's data said tourist arrivals totalled 19.03mn, a fall of 5.96% year-on-year (y-o-y). This is an improvement over the first three-quarters of the year, when arrivals fell by 6.6% y-o-y, and particularly over H209 when they sank by 19.2% y-o-y. As a result, it appears that tourist arrivals have hit bottom and are set to begin picking up again in 2010.
We are concerned that tourist revenues fell far more sharply than arrivals, slumping by 16.1% y-o-y during the first 11 months of 2009 to US$8.2bn. This is partly a result of the weakening Mexican peso, which has weighed on US dollar revenues. It also reflects a shift in the type of visitors coming to Mexico, away from high-end, long-stay travellers and towards short-stay arrivals. Many of those visiting Mexico in 2009 were short-stay and weekend visitors from the US rather than longer term holidaymakers. We expect this will create greater problems for the Mexican tourist industry than the visitor downturn, as it will weigh on investment potential in 2010.
No doubt the collapse of world economies affects many industries, including tourism, I believe that Mexico is a very hard blow to the tourism industry and is one of the main sources of revenues, more so because we are just recovering from the flu AH1N1.
ReplyDeleteI think that the fall od the arrival of the toruist to Mexico’s detinatios is provocate for a large number of factors as the flu H1N1, the continue insecurity in the country ans the poor international promotiof of the destination that Mexico offers, for this reason Iam sure that to improve the number of tourist arrival the country needs that all authorities of tourism work togethet for crate a new strategy for the captacion of new markets ans fot to recupetare the markets who are lost.
ReplyDeleteIn Mexico one of the sectors with greater economic spill is tourism, because different situations have been generated suffered from a decayed, have actually generated significant losses, and today no longer reaches tourism in our country, we as developers tourist We must develop strategies to gain it back. It is vitally important to learn to make new ways to recover this sector.. by Isabel... See you later. teacher. JOSUE.
ReplyDeletetourists do not want to get to Mexico for the insecurity that now lives in our country and these events come to pass in the national economy since many jobs are being lost by the lack of income by the arrival of foreigners who visited before our beaches and cities.
ReplyDeletemost affected are all Mexicans and that without the economic spill comes as no longer before the country can not continue dearrollando.
I like your comments guys
ReplyDeletei think that mexico has been the best country to invest because we have all the resources to do it. like: the natural resource, personal resources and many more.
ReplyDeletei belive that the econimic of mexico is bad for the "influenza AH1N1" and the most important is the global economic crisis that happened.
finally we can solve it.
in Mexico, tourism is the most important economic activity and I believe that tourism declined by the economic crisis and influensa, the people are waiting for the dollar, they are afraid to invest.
ReplyDeletei think that the people's they worries for other problems and no for teh tourism that down for the economic crisis.
ReplyDeletethe dollar down of price and the tourist not convenient because they speend too much.
Mexico has a important resources in all its the states and we need create a new forms for to take those resources because we are affecting by a lot of problems like the virus AH1N1 and the global crisis and prepared for others problems than will come.
ReplyDeleteI think that the tourism is a very important for the economy of mexico, and that the visits diminished in 2009 for the influenza H1N1 that gave herself in our country, but now that already there is no danger the government has to extract forward this prop of our economy,We have to give a good service and offer quality.
ReplyDeleteIn México the tourism is very important because is the way economic activity.
ReplyDeletemaybe now very well but still important and similarly brings to the country's economy.
As we can see in Mexico the tourism in one of the more important activities in the economy but recently by the weakening Mexican peso it cause that the tourist who come for some months now this tourist come for some days and weekend and for this problem we can have many losses in our economy.
ReplyDelete'Cause to the problem that our contry has been suffering for example; the insecurity of the tourist that visit the country,disease (H1N1), economic and social conflicts,etc. the sightseeing has fallen and the and economy of mexico doesn't increase.

ReplyDeletethink the problem of tourism entry and is taking positive strategies to help grow the local economy, to me the importance of tourism because the tourism in my town is very representative of our economy, but with problems months before a coup very dramatic and thanks to all who finished.
ReplyDeletethe turism is not a problem, the proble is, when the people use it, without undetand. the touristic activity is god for the development of a country, but lately is not coming people here. causing a down in the entry of the country.
ReplyDeleteWell this is not something new, because previous years tourism has always been things that break. and the fall of the Mexican currency is due to the global crisis.
ReplyDeletepromote tourism activity in Mexico is difficult but not impossible. this should keep the same market, and create new strategies and alternatives. the evolutionary change of Tourism is now.
I think that everybody is happening for the crisis,because the fall the banks,also that the tourism in Mexico is under,but beyond promotion the many attractive places in Mexico, also I think that the people to offers atractions should be more friendly and give quality services.
ReplyDeleteTHEN ALL THIS IT MUST BE TO THE ECONOMIC CRISIS THAT IT HAVE BEEN FOR THE CRISIS IN THE USA THAT AFFECTION TO EVERYBODY. BUT MEXICO HAVE TRY TO HELP THE TOURISM WORKING MORE OFFERING MORE ATRACTIONS TO THE TOURISM NATIONAL AND FOREING.AND OFFERING QUALITY SERVICES.
ReplyDeletei think that the economy the mexico is but has regular that search more resources and support to the sector that more income contributes to the country

ReplyDeleteTourism is vital for our country since a large part of revenue is due to foreign tourism due to the flu crisis and this was greatly affected and reduced.
The good news is that in 2010 tourism is increasing. We hope that since there are no other situations that affect this essential activity for the nation.
The tourism in Mexico is most important in the economy of the country. United State enter the most part of this contribution. If the economy of the United State low, the tourism in Mexico low, so we depend of the they. I simportant that we search new forms of attract the tourism, other form we will no tourism.
ReplyDeleteI think that the tourism in Mexico low for situation the influenza that was the principal
ReplyDeletecause for the economy and the tourism low other of the cause is the insegurity that be living the country.
but Mexico have place more beautiful where the tourist can pass a moment pleasant because the offer destination with the that only Mexico have.
In our country and all the world we had many problems about economic spill and other things, but we are get over it. in this case in my country the economy is no good for the moment .nothing is impossible we know make tourisim because we have the potencial.
ReplyDeleteAs we know, México is one of most important tourist destination, but our economy has been afected by many reason, before mentioned for my partners. The point is that tha economy of any country always has ups and downs, it´s normal. The importan is that the tourism is basic for the economy of México,then we as Mexicans should promote our tourist attractions, for recover our economy.Visit México...
ReplyDeleteWell, the crisis is sometimes up and sometimes down but this really depends on the effort because of the honesty, the spirit of being a single, a Mexico delivered more united than ever by labor and sweat of the brow also we must be aware that this will depend more on the same youth who will be the heirs of the Mexican land that we somehow or develop not one but several projects that help to Mexico and end up with some negative attitudes that many people have as malice, greed, jealousy, discrimination, among other famous ... and corruption, as are some who have money because they are happy and confident while others are in sorrow for not having at least one work without just Mexico's people say that's enough to live the crisis, just to be a parasite, hoping enough of others, all denote the same side for the same purpose to Mexico and it is time to promote new techniques, strategies, methods, alternatives to help to move forward and put aside negative attitudes, to have faith that tomorrow will be better than expected, still compromising with ourselves, we can put the waste, the crisis in place, we can care for and have sustainability in our home that is Mexico and best tool we have to start tourism is, we the same people but without damaging exploit all the natural beauties which our Mexican land and never be discouraged by the losses we have in the tourism, always on the way there will be obstacles, impediments, decayed, but which do not compare with our ambition to go before it can be better able to assess such a power us know that no matter what race, sex or religion for what we have in common is the heart the key to our nation, showing the pride of Mexico, which are all the stars of the bicentennial, all the cultures that made up for it in order to combat economic crisis and not with arms folded, by will we must preserve itself, implement, plan, anticipate, develop, analyze, perform and carry out all thought of and referred to a better future for Mexico ...
