Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum said Tuesday that the country 'is in fashion' on the global tourism scene, as she presented record data for the sector in the first quarter of 2026. During her morning press conference, Sheinbaum noted that the growth of international tourism has boosted the Mexican economy and increased the arrival of foreign visitors.
Without providing specific numbers in her statement, the president stressed that the figures for the period are historic, reflecting the sector's recovery and strengthening after years of challenges. The remarks come amid government efforts to promote Mexican destinations and improve tourism infrastructure.
Sheinbaum did not detail the measures that led to the result, but the optimistic speech reinforces the government's bet on tourism as an engine of development. The statement was made in a context of seeking economic diversification and attracting foreign investment.
