Mazatlán, México, February 10, 2017 – Mazatlán, known as the ‘Colonial City on the Beach’ has been selected as the site for the 43rd Tianguis Turístico in 2018, winning out over Guadalajara, and Querétaro. In the end, the Tianguis selection committee assessed three proposals, considering air connectivity, hotel capacity and meetings and exhibition space. The selection process leaded by the Ministry of Tourism (Sectur) and the Mexico Tourism Board started about two months ago, and the committee also included members of the Chamber of Commerce, the National Business Tourism Council and the Mexican Hotel Association.
