Join us for an event tommorrow which will look into the economic impact tourism from Mexico has on the US economy, and offer suggestions for how best to increase it in the years ahead. At the event we will also be unveiling a new NPI report, "Realizing the Full Value of Tourism from Mexico to the United State"

Joining us for this lunch time discussion on March 20th will be:

Erik Lee – Deputy Director, North American Center for Transborder Studies
Eduardo Chaillo - Executive Director, Mexico Tourism Board
David M. Huether -  Senior Vice President, Research, U.S. Travel Association

Our event will take place on Tuesday, March 20th, noon at NDN, 729 15th Street, NW in Washington, DC.   Seating is limited for the event so please, RSVP today to reserve your spot.  You will be able to watch a live video feed of the event starting at 1215pm that day by visiting our spreecast channel.

This event comes in time to help inform a recent Presidential executive order designed to significantly increase travel and tourism in the United States. As the United States looks to increase domestic tourism, increasing tourism from Mexico should be a major priority for our new national strategy.  Consider the following.

Mexico is allready the second largest suplier of international visitation into the United States.

And Mexico is the 4th largest market for international spending in the country.

Taken together we believe it makes a great deal of sense for the US to make expanding tourism from Mexico one of the highest priorities of our new national tourism strategy.  

 We hope to see you tomorrow, and do look for our report on our website later that afternoon.
