Evidently, Mexico has all the elements to consolidate itself as an international investment destination, a leader in development and tourism. Mexico is a country with great investment opportunities, capable of generating public-private partnerships and creating joint ventures.<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00c2\u00a0<\/span>Ministry of Tourism<\/span><\/a>\u00c2\u00a0announced that Mexico is one of the seven most attractive countries for investment (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development – UNCTAD) and the ninth among the 25 most attractive to investors from around the world, according to AT Kearney.<\/span><\/p>\n
