The Tianguis Turístico is a national exhibition where different States of the Mexican Republic join in order to showcase their products and tourist destinations.
First Edition
Born in Acapulco, its first edition was in 1975, when local authorities of Guerrero were striving to promote Acapulco as the main touristic destination of Mexico. After about 30 years, organizers decided to give an opportunity to other States to host this important event of the touristic industry, getting back to the city which gave it birth every 2 years.
Tianguis Turístico 2020
For this year, the city host of the Tianguis Turístico will be Merida, Yucatán, also known as the white city.
It is important to mention that the Tianguis Turístico brings together at least 30 of the States of Mexico that are looking to promote their tourist image for both national and foreign visitors. To get it done, each State has a stand where it can show cultural, artistic and conference presentations.
Last year, in the 44th edition, the Secretary of Tourism confirmed that more than 47,000 business meetings between exhibitors, buyers, and average participants were completed. If the same growth margin is maintained, The Tianguis Turístico 2020 will be able to reach more than 50,000 business meetings of the tourism industry.
The Event
Being a dedicated, dynamic and productive business forum, the Tianguis Turístico is consolidated internationally thanks to the fact that it promotes interaction between the main suppliers of the Mexican tourism industry and buyers from more than 70 countries, through business appointments requested by one or both parties.
Among the expositors, it will be possible to find independent hotels, hotel chains, airlines, destination management companies and each one of the 32 States of the Mexican Republic. The event will hold more than 600 expositors. Among buyers, there will be Tour Operators, Travel Agents, Touristic Associations, Event Organization Companies and so on.
