Mexico will have the largest tourist plaza in Latin America

 

With an investment of $80 to $90 million dollars at its completion in 2010, the Cancun Messe in Cancun, Quintana Roo will be inaugurated as the largest festival enclosure of Latin America.

The Latin American General Director, Armando Zenteno Rudolph, assured that the enclosure will be "the first window that Mexico will have to the world" and will greatly count with the hotel and airport infrastructures to attract buyers.

 

During the Latin American Food Show 2010 presentation, it was emphasized that the Cancun Messe will have an extended indoor area of 60,000 square meters, plus 50,000 meters of exterior area.

 

The venue has "the possibility of attracting 28 million visitors a year, we will be able to increase flights, bettering the tourism crisis and filling all the hotels.  Cancun will be converted from an international tourist plaza, into a place where business will be launched".

Zenteno Rudolph said Mexico counts with many enclosed fairgrounds, but lacks in infrastructure, such as in Mexico City which has 60,000 hotel rooms with 55,000 that are always occupied therefore buyers do not attend the fairs.

 

On the contrary, Cancun has 70,000 hotel rooms and in September, when the Latin American Show occurred, they were mostly available.  What was needed is a venue where events like this could be held.
