Mexican tourist industry stakes to trade fairs and conventions development to be one of the most important activities in generating foreign exchange for the country.
This kind of tourism not only increases the rate of hotel occupancy, but also tourist expenditure with multiplier effects on the economy, said Miguel Torruco Marques, president of the National Tourism Confederation (CNT).
He said that in 2009 in Mexico were held 112 international conferences, which generated revenues of $309 million dollars, while spending per tourist was almost six times more, compared to other segments.
Torruco noted that 65% of hotel occupancy in Mexico City is associated with the organization of events, fairs and congresses, a situation that is also reflected in other cities like Monterrey and Guadalajara.
Considering these data, the CNT has among its goals to develop a competitive destination, able to place Mexico City between world’s 15 cities selected by foreign capital to develop this type of tourism, and so repositioned in the market.
Mexico has a world-class infrastructure comprised of hotels, international airports, 71 convention centers and fairgrounds, which this year will increase with the opening of three new, said Torruco.
The executive concluded that the lack of creativity and political will in some cases affected the sharp drop that Mexico had in the world ranking, going from ninth in 1994 to 18th in 2008. (Editorial) Commerce

" By: Jesus Ugarte MEXICO CITY (FORTUNE) - In the next 5 years will be built over 5 floors of wind power in the state of Baja California , generating over 3,000 megawatts (MW) and involve an investment of 6.000 billion dollars, revealed David Muñoz Andrade , director general of the State Energy Commission of this entity.
Among the companies that will build the plants are Sempra (1.000 MW) Cannon (1.000 MW) Wind Power (75 MW) Wind Power in Mexico (500 MW) and Zemer (50 MW).
The official explained that the energy will export destination, the sale to the Commission Federal de Electricidad (CFE) , and self-sufficiency.
Baja California has areas where the wind blows permanently. "Not only is wind energy have photovoltaic, solar, geothermal, biomass, biogas , and farms are producing biofuels , "said David Muñoz.
The first wind plant to be built in the state went to the local government invested 26 million dollars in the area of the Rumorosa , and now provides electricity to the municipality of Mexicali (80% of public lighting).
The Rumorosa area is part of the Atlas of Renewable Resources Solar Wind and submitted by the Government.
To develop projects in the following years, Sempra will have 1,000 MW, and in its first phase in 2011, will have 140 MW. The investment of this plant will reach 1.600 billion, and the energy they produce will be exported to the United States.
The Government launched the Atlas of Wind and Solar Renewable Resources at the Summit on Climate Change which took in Cancun.
This information platform reveals that the territory has a potential of 71,000 MW of energy produced by wind.
At the end of the administration of President Calderon, Mexico will reach a generation of 2,500 MW of wind, said Georgina Kessel , head of the Secretariat of Energy .
Bimbo build the largest wind farm in the food industry worldwide, with which will generate 100% of the electricity consumed by the group , the company announced on 2 December.
The park " Black Stone "in Union Hidalgo, Oaxaca , will supply the power consumption of 65 company facilities.
NAFTA violence stops
The integration of Mexico, the United States and Canada has been a failure with respect to the expectations generated by the signing of NAFTA in North America ( NAFTA ), said Jeffrey Davidow , president of the Institute of the Americas.
"In recent years it has lost track. Issues such as migration and drug violence have been an obstacle to deeper integration," said the former ambassador to the United States in Mexico, at the opening of the event "Baja California: energy motion. "
The governor of Baja California, José Guadalupe Osuna Millán , found that rates of insecurity in the state have declined, and now Tijuana is not the city that captures the spotlight as the most violent in the country. He said the fight against organized crime should be up front, and that the U.S. government must cooperate to avoid the sale of arms .
In the event where participating companies such as Siemens, Spanish Gamesa Wind, InterGen, Wind Power in Mexico, General Electric, ABB Mexico and Central America, Cannon Power, Osuna Millán said the area Rumorosa has a potential to generate wind power from 3.000 MW and if it considers the entire state, this figure rises to 5.000 MW.
Davidow considered that an important reason to strengthen the integration between Mexico and the United States is the generation of alternative energies such as solar, wind, among others.
"The interaction between Mexico and the United States in the border area is an area of opportunity to be seized," said the governor of Baja California.
The wind industry is very young in Mexico, is a very recent, and opens important expectations for the productive sector, the official said.
