Mexico Maya Calendar 2012 Travel Tours Packages
The ancient Maya calendar ends Dec. 21, 2012, and Hollywood has wasted no time portraying the coming date as the trigger of a worldwide cataclysm.
But in Mexico, where drug violence has hobbled the nation’s $70 billion tourism industry, government leaders hope to counter Tinseltown’s doomsday scenario by promoting 2012 as the year of the tourist.
Several of Mexico’s top tourism officials have been making the rounds in their northern neighbor, betting that an invitation to see Maya ruins will attract hordes of older, wealthier U.S. visitors keen on Mexican culture.

Mazatlan Mexico's Best Family Beach
Mazatlán has claimed the title of Best Family Beach as part of Travelocity Mexico’s 2010 “Battle of Destinations.”
Hosted by Travelocity.com.mx and the Mexican Council for the Promotion of Tourism (CPTM), this online competition featured weekly match-ups between 14 competing Mexican destinations this summer. Travelers were asked to vote for their top pick in four travel categories, including Family Beach, Luxury Beach, Urban City and Colonial Town.
More than 2.3 million people living in cities and towns throughout Mexico cast their online ballot for Mazatlán in the battle for Best Family Beach Destination, held during the week of July 1. With a grand finish of more than 73 percent of votes, the seaside destination known as “The Pearl of The Pacific” celebrated a landslide victory over the rival beaches of Cancún, Acapulco and Ixtapa.

2011 Mexico Year of Tourism
Mexican President Felipe Calderón recently declared 2011 the Year of Tourism — and he insisted that despite all the negative drug-war publicity Mexico gets these days, "99.9%" of visitors to his sun-splashed country "have pleasant vacations." He's right: a minuscule portion of foreign tourists have been affected by Mexico's violence. But on Jan. 26, a day after Calderón's proclamation, a U.S. missionary was murdered in a part of northeastern Mexico that is rife with narcocriminals, reportedly shot in the head by men in a black truck who tried to stop the missionary and her husband on a road near the U.S.-Mexico border.

Specialized Mexico Travel Services Internet
Specialized Travel Services - The travel agency industry has shifted radically in the last decade. The Internet allows people to shop for and purchase airline tickets and hotel accommodations directly. In March 2002, airlines flying in the United States eliminated commissions to travel agents.
“The number of travel agents from 1995 until now has been cut almost in half,” says Maloney. “There were some 37,000 physical branch locations in 1995, which was the peak, and now there are about 16,000 to 18,000.”
Many agents today specialize in tours, cruises and vacation packages. Often they have extensive first-hand experience with the carriers, hotels and sites they recommend.
