According to Inegi, this component grew 0.4% on an annual basis and 0.1% compared with the first quarter of 2026.
Rodríguez Zamora explained that both indicators allow evaluation of the tourism industry’s economic performance, both in terms of its contribution to GDP and the spending of those who visit the country’s various destinations.
Tourism as a driver of opportunities for communities. The secretary noted that these results are relevant amid an international scenario marked by economic transformations and challenges, in which Mexico has maintained the dynamism of its tourism activity.
She emphasized that the goal is to consolidate the country’s competitiveness as an international destination and ensure that the industry’s benefits reach more people socially.
She maintained that tourism growth should be reflected in better conditions for families and communities that depend directly or indirectly on this activity. She also reiterated that, in line with instructions from President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, the Government of Mexico seeks to broaden the distribution of the sector’s economic benefits so that shared prosperity reaches more regions of the national territory.
