Tourism has long been a key pillar in Mexico’s economic engine, generating substantial revenue and drawing millions of visitors each year. Last year alone, the country welcomed over 42 million international tourists, with nearly nine million arriving via cruise ships. This influx of travelers contributed a staggering $30.809 billion to the economy, underscoring tourism’s vital role in capital accumulation and economic growth.
Historically, the Mexican government has actively promoted tourism since the mid-20th century. In the 1940s, Acapulco became a popular beach destination. By the late 1960s, Puerto Vallarta captured the global spotlight . . .
