Tourism Minister Josefina Rodríguez said Tuesday that “there is no insecurity for tourists in Mexico.”Rodríguez made the comment in anticipation of Madrid’s 2026 International Tourism Fair (FITUR) scheduled for January 2026, at which Mexico will be the guest country of honor. “That’s why there has been an increase in foreign tourists to our country.”The minister’s reassuring words faced headwinds from recent events. The tourism minister addressed the latter concern by noting that such alerts have been commonplace for many years. In August, President Claudia Sheinbaum said that the Tourism Ministry aims to establish Mexico as the fifth most-visited country in the world by 2030, from sixth position at present. We’ve had the same numbers for many years.”She also said that her ministry wants to encourage a wider knowledge of what Mexico has to offer tourists.
