• Leveraging WTFI’s investor portfolio to attract capital for Mexico’s tourism infrastructure projects.

• Facilitating Mexico’s participation in WTFI-led summits to connect with international investors and tourism leaders.

• Strengthening Mexico’s global brand through WTFI’s media channels, marketing campaigns, and international tourism forums.

• Partnering on green tourism projects and leveraging WTFI’s expertise in eco-tourism and digital transformation initiatives.

• Enhancing tourism flows between Mexico and the Gulf region through strategic partnerships with airlines, tour operators, and hospitality brands.

The meeting concluded with a shared vision for long-term cooperation, with plans for further discussions on integrating Mexico into WTFI’s major investment initiatives. By tapping into WTFI’s global network and expertise, Mexico aims to unlock new tourism markets, secure international investment, and strengthen its position as a top-tier global travel destination.
