From the beginning of the current administration, it was clear mat a new comprehensive vision was required in this sector. Accordingly, steps were taken to formulate a new National Tourism Policy anchored in four leading principles: Regulate and transform the sector, enlisting all government components in the effort Render the industry more innovative and competitive by diversifying tourist attractions and consolidating existing destinations Intensify advocacy and promotion: execute planning through a proactive agent charged with guiding and reinforcing private efforts Strive forsustainability and sodal benefit, reshaping the industry into a guardian of the national heritage and a clean environment, while simultaneously ensuring access for all Mexicans so that tourism is no longer a privilege In light of the above, a Tourism Council was established as a coordinating tool to render government actions in this area more efficient. Moreover, a comprehensive promotional strategy, "live it to believe it' was introduced. Tourism was included for the first time as a strategic sector in the National Infrastructure Program, and a new design was created both for the Pueblo Mdgko initiative and for the Regional Program for Sustainable Tourism. The results were not long in coming. The first year of this administration witnessed record-setting income from international tourism and its corresponding economic benefits. Furthermore, 2014 exceeded all expectations, positioning Mexico as a world leader in the growth of the tourism industry. According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (WTO), Mexico registered the largest increase in tourist arrivals among those reported in the WTO International Tourism Highlights of 2015. The 4.9 million additional tourists noted in this document represent a 20.5% hike compared to the already historic levels of 2013. In 2014 foreign exchange in Mexico grew by more than 16%, reaching a record high of over $16.2 billion US dollars.That year, the lecal growth rate of the tourism sector exceeded the world average, with Mexico once again returning to the ranks of the ten most visited countries in the world. According to data from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography for 2013, the tourism-generated GOP climbed 5.5% relative to the previous year. Employment in the sector also increased by more than 120 thousand people as a reflection of the confidence in Mexico's continuing growth and the great potential of what the country has to offer. Mexico is an extraordinarily diverse country with an impressive cultural history and an exceptional spirit of service. As examples of this, the country holds 33 World Heritage Sites, ranking sixth among countries having such sites. With an assortment of 10 World Heritage Cities, eight elements of Intangible Heritage (including its cuisine), 176 Protected Natural Areas, and a total of 187 archeological zones of world significance, Mexico offers tourists the most visited sites in Latin America, such as Teotihuacan, Chichen ttza and Tulum. Mexican tourism is drawing attention from the entire world. Due to the success of the industry and the structural reforms introduced by Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, the country presents attractive long-term business opportunities for national and international investors. This Manual was created to facilitate and clarify the precedures and regulations that both national and internationat investors need to follow in order to be part of the Mexican tourism industry, either through direct investment or through specialized financial instruments. In addition, information on the key public and private institutions related to the sector provides valuable assistance to investors who are interested in participating in the Mexican tourism industry.

The country has an area of almost two million square kilometers, making it the twelfth largest country in the world. Mexico is a federal republic made up of and administered as 31 states and 1 Federal District (Mexico City), which serves as the capital and seat of political-administrative power. In turn, the states are organized into municipalities whose number varies by state. The Federal District is administered as 16 political districts (delegaciones). ________ The Mexican government is constituted as a democracy whose executive power is renewed through elections every six years. "ii - Its administration is based on coordination between the three federal branches (executive, legislative and judicial) and support of the 32 federal entities. Guided by federal development plans, the states nonetheless possess a high degree of legislative and administrative autonomy. With an exceptional geographic situation, Mexico shares a border with the principal economic power in the world, the United ,States, to the north, and with Guatemala and Belize to the south.

  • Initial Determinants of Mexican Mass Migration
    Initial Determinants of Mexican Mass Migration David Escamilla-Guerrero [email protected] London School of Economics November 8, 2018 Abstract The paper addresses the determinants of the Mexican-US migration flow in its begin- nings (1884-1910). Exploiting an original data set based on individual border crossings from 1906 to 1908, I present for the first time, the spatial distribution of the flow at the local level. The micro data reveal that Mexican and American historiography misrepresented the composition of the flow regarding the immigrant’s locations of birth and last residence. Contrary to previous literature, most immigrants came from the border states rather than from the central plateau of Mexico. In addition, internal migration was not the main mechanism to cross the border since 60 percent of the flow was characterized by direct emigration to the United States. The quantitative assessment reveals that market potentials and Mexican immigrant networks in the US were the main pull factors rather than the US-Mexico wage gap. On the other hand, differences in living standards across Mexico were the main push factor. Despite their importance for the Mexican economy, railways had a limited effect on the migration flow during the Age of Mass Migration. Keywords: labor migration, railways, institutions, Mexico JEL Classification Numbers: N36, N76, F22, J61 Acknowledgments: I am especially grateful to my PhD supervisors Eric Schneider and Joan Rosés for their guidance and invaluable comments. I thank Chris Minns, Zachary Ward, Neil Cummins, Alfonso Cabreros-Zurita, León Fernández-Bujanda and Mattia Bertazzini for their extensive feedback; and Daniela Gutiérrez and Marco Villeda for their assistance on the data transcription.

One of the keys to position the country as a global trade leader over the coming decade is the development of an international logistics capability that joins production, cost, quality and customer service to provide an integrated supply chain, indispensable to new business and trade practices. Mexico has positioned itself as an attractive location for productive investment, something that has favored the recent increase in advanced manufacturing industries based in the country, such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, medical and food processing, among others. That has further encouraged investment in multi- modal transport corridors comprising inland ports, industrial parks and free trade zones in order to develop Mexico as a logistics platform and link it to world markets. In most recent years, Mexico prepared a very ambitious infrastructure program in history, building and modernizing a 133,000 kilometer network of highways, 76 airports (64 with international flights), and 27,000 kilometers of railroad and 117 maritime ports – of which 68 are containers ports.
