The goal is for Mexico to become the fifth-most-visited country in the world, according to the Minister of Tourism

Mexico City - February 14, 2025 - President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo of Mexico said in recent remarks that the country is a major tourism attraction, with the number of international vacationers increasing by 15.5 percent in 2024 compared to the previous year. Building on that growth, tourism promotion will be further boosted as part of a new "Plan Mexico," with the goal of becoming the world's fifth-most-visited destination within the next few years.

"Mexico is a major attraction worldwide; everyone wants to [visit us]," President Sheinbaum said, adding that under Plan Mexico, leadership on both the federal and state levels across the country are working together to attain that goal.

"Mexico has a great reputation in the world," Sheinbaum said, although she noted that "some have wanted to stigmatize the country over the issue of violence or organized crime." Mexico enjoys this great recognition worldwide thanks to its reputation as a global cultural touchstone, among other factors, she added.

"More visitors will arrive and that will tremendously help us in generating jobs, in economic development, and of course, in promoting the glory of the cultural power that we represent," President Sheinbaum said.

Minister of Tourism Josefina Rodríguez Zamora announced that, under the auspices of Plan Mexico, the country is set to become the fifth-most-visited country in the world, up from the current sixth place it holds, as determined by the World Tourism Organization and World Economic Forum. With this in mind, an intersectional tourism policy is being developed based on the following axes: sustainability; basic equality and women's rights; public innovation for technological development; and the rights of indigenous and Afro-Mexican communities.
