PUERTO VALLARTA & RIVIERA NAYARIT TRANSLATION Sarah Muñoz 18 CENTRAL GRAPHIC DESIGNER Carlos Caso / KSO CENTRAL MEXICO GOLF MEXICO 2018 WELCOME TO MEXICO’S FINEST FAIRWAYS Dunes Course, Cabo San Lucas. There’s no doubt about it. Mexico has become a world-class golf destina- tion that is gaining international recognition. In 2007 the first PGA Tour event in Mexico was held at Mayakoba in the Riviera Maya. November 5 to 11, 2018 will mark the 12th year of the OHL Mayakoba Classic. The World Golf Championships tournament relocated to the Chapultepec Golf Course in Mexico City and was renamed the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship, beginning in 2017. The country has almost 200 courses designed by some of the world’s top architects, including Jack Nicklaus, Davis Love III, Tom Weiskopf and Tom Fazio. Danzante Bay, a new design by Rees Jones in Loreto, has recently been named an official TPC course. Another first: Tiger Woods’ debut de- sign, El Cardonal, opened at Diamante Cabo San Lucas in 2014. Mexican- born Lorena Ochoa, who was the world’s número uno female golfer from 2007 to 2010, is designing a course in Riviera Nayarit. Slated to open late in 2018, Costa Canuva will feature a co-design by Greg Norman and Lorena Ochoa and a luxury Fairmont hotel. 1 WHY MEXICO Home of the Mayakoba, Riviera Maya. In addition to fabulous seaside and mountain courses, golfers will experi- ence sunny weather and the happy vibes of the people who work at the various clubs and resorts. Service with a smile is genuine and professional. Compared to prices for hotels, resorts, meals and drinks in Canada, the U.S. and Europe, Mexico is a bargain. Luxury resorts, such as One&Only Palmilla in Los Cabos, Four Seasons and St. Regis in Punta Mita and Andaz, Fairmont, Rosewood and Banyan Tree in the Mayan Riviera will exceed your expectations for style, service, cuisine and spa facilities. Everyone loves the après golf experiences Mexico has to offer. Tradi- tional Mexican cuisine has been declared by UNESCO as an Intangible Cul- tural Heritage of Humanity. Each region serves up its own specialties-from crispy fish tacos on the Baja Peninsula to cochinita pibil (spicy pork cooked in banana leaves) in the state of Quintana Roo. Tequila is Mexico’s national spirit and there are myriad variations on the margarita…but have you tried a smoky Mescal or some of the country’s award-winning wines? Mexican’s love to party so you’ll never be far from a fiesta or cultural cel- ebration of some sort. The country also has a rich history. Take some time to explore some of the famous Mayan ruins, or perhaps indulge in a spa treatment inspired by pre-Hispanic traditions. 2 1 EDITORIAL 2 WHY MEXICO 6 WELCOME LETTER MANAGING DIRECTOR Sandra Reed BAJA CALIFORNIA PENINSULA 8 ADMINISTRATION & RESEARCH LOS CABOS Jorge Jiménez EDITORIAL 12 PACIFIC COAST Anita Draycott PUERTO VALLARTA & RIVIERA NAYARIT TRANSLATION Sarah Muñoz 18 CENTRAL GRAPHIC DESIGNER Carlos Caso / KSO CENTRAL MEXICO GOLF MEXICO 2018 22 MEXICAN CARIBBEAN Is produced by Meetings Alliance LLC CANCUN & RIVIERA MAYA in cooperation with the Mexico Tourism Board.

MEMBERSHIP PHOTOS Cover: Estrella del Mar, Mazatlan p.4: Palmilla Ocean, San Jose del Cabo MEXICO AND GOLF Dear Reader, Today more than ever, we appreciate your interest in our country. We are very happy to share that tourism in Mexico continues to grow at a his- toric rate. By the end of 2017, more than 39 million international tourists arrived, an increase of more than 60% compared to the previous five years. According to the World Tourism Organization, Mexico is already the sixth most visited country in the world! Outside of the USA itself, Mexico is the most popular winter-season golf destination for US golfers. We are working to promote golf tourism and to position Mexico as one of the best in the world. For this and many other reasons, we invite you to visit us and discover why Mexico is “A World of Its Own.” Throughout the country, we have an impressive range of 160 golf courses, many of them designed by the world’s most recognized architects such as Nicklaus, Dye, Von Hagge, Weiskopf and Jones, to name a few. During past years we have hosted top level events that attract the best PGA Tour golfers such as the World Golf Championships - Mexico Championship in Mexico City and the OHL Classic at Mayakoba in the Riviera Maya, an event listed as one of the best in the tour by professionals and the public in general. Golf tourism is a constantly growing market and in recent years, it has become one of the most important segments within the tourism industry in Mexico. The great diversity of golf courses, whether in the desert or on the seashore, boast spectacular views, great weather, developed hotel infrastructure and services and serve to make our country one of the best places in the world to practice this sport. A golf trip to Mexico is an enriching adventure from a cultural point of view. When accompanied with our internationally recognized gastronomy, it becomes the ideal destination for sports and family trips. We welcome you with open arms!

While fishing still draws avid anglers to what’s called “marlin alley,” Los Cabos, where the desert meets the Sea of Cortez, has become the undis- puted golf capital of Latin America. The International Association of Golf Tourist Operators named Los Cabos “Golf Destination of the Year” in 2017. No wonder. All the public courses can be found within a 28-mile stretch of coastline from Quivira Golf Club, a few miles west of downtown Cabo San Lucas, to Puerto Los Cabos golf course, a few miles east of San José del Cabo. Jack Nicklaus officially opened his epic gravity-defying layout, Quivira in 2014, arguably his most daring design to date. Quivira boasts more ocean- front exposure than any other course in Los Cabos. All 18 fairways feature views of the Pacific. From December to March you will likely spot whales Desert Course at Cabo del Sol, Cabo San Lucas. leaping in the wild blue yonder.

Lomas 4a sección, 78216 San Luis Potosí, S.L.P., Mexico * [email protected] ABSTRACT A gravimetric survey consisting of fi ve lines and 483 stations, as well as a magnetotelluric (MT) survey consisting of 17 observation sites, were made in the Valle de Banderas region for the determination of the structural characteristics of the valley. Additionally, data from a previous aeromagnetic survey were analyzed to correlate them with our geophysical measurements. The gravimetric and MT models confi rm that the valley corresponds to a graben structure with slumped blocks that vary from ~2000 m deep close to Bahía de Banderas to shallow burial depths (~100 m) toward the NE end of the valley. Faults fl anking the valley, inferred from the gravity and magnetic models, trend toward offshore faults in Bahía de Banderas, indicating a structural connection between land and sea.

In a recent synopsis of tourism geography research 16 in Latin America and the Caribbean, Mexico was identied as the leading 17 country in the region in terms of the volume of tourism geography publi- 18 cations produced, as well as theses and dissertations (Meyer-Arendt 2002). 19 At least two major reasons account for this: (1) Mexico is close and easily 20 accessible for North American researchers, and (2) geography as a disci- 21 pline is quite healthy in Mexico, and a small contingent of tourism geog- 22 raphers has developed considerable research attention on the major tourist 23 destinations there. 24 Proximity has been a large factor in the popularity of Mexico as a 25 destination for eld research by American and Canadian geographers, 26 especially since the early years of Carl Sauer’s ‘Berkeley school’. While 27 the Berkeley cultural geographers studiously avoided areas impacted by 28 tourism, geographers today are increasingly receptive to understanding the 29 role of tourism – at traditional tourist destinations, at newly created 30 touristic growth poles, and in isolated regions that may have ethnic 31 or wilderness appeal to alternative tourists.
