Mexico in Big Tourism Advertising Push

General Market and Hispanic Media properties to profit from it.

Content

After the swine-flu outbreak scared tourists away from Mexico, the country's president Felipe Calderon recently announced plans to spend $92 million on efforts to promote tourism. Southern California Hispanic media properties including Impremedia properties and Hispanic wedding magazine BodasUSA have sold advertising to Mexican public and private institutions.

Both private and public entities are putting advertising dollars to work. Hotel resorts and other private entities from regions including Baja Sur, Baja Norte, California, Mexicali, Tijuana, Ensenada, and Rosarito are advertising their properties to U.S. audiences.

In addition, public entities led by the Mexican Central State (Mexico Tourism Board whose account is handled by Machado Garcia Serra in Miami), but also by many regional states are participating in the promotion.
