Geneve Mexico City Hotel’s Evolution of Tourism in Mexico in Mexico City

Evolution of Tourism in Mexico

According to information provided by the Ministry of Tourism in 2022, Mexico receives mostly international visitors from the United States, Canada and Colombia, with 15 million 620 thousand international tourists by air.
This information seems quite normal nowadays, but have you ever stopped to think about how this has evolved? There were times when this would have seemed totally hard to believe.
Let's go back to 1921, in Mexico, in the Geneve Hotel, during the government of President Alvaro Obregón, the first plans to turn Mexico into a center of tourist attraction were initiated, so the best hotel rooms available in the entire republic were counted, the figure reached 1,000 rooms, of which 400 corresponded to the capital of the country, and 200 of those rooms belonged to the GENEVE.
Thanks to the guest information provided by the books of this period organized by origin, we have learned that we had mostly foreign visitors from the United States and Canada, also General Manuel Avila Camacho, who made multiple entries and exits at some point in 1932, was a guest.
At that time we began to recognize the actions of travel agencies that in 1931 the Ward Line Excursion brought tourists from Pittsburg, New York and Boston, others were brought from Philadelphia, New York and Chicago by Raymond Whitecomb Land Cruise, also American Express Tour brought a group from Chicago and Oklahoma.
Between 1950 and 1973 we begin to talk about the tourist boom. Above all, because of the beginning of the production and commercialization of automobiles in chain and this makes them more accessible. New roads and opportunities to travel within the country or in the world, in a more comfortable and simple way.
Some time later, in the 80's, there was a marked change on the part of the big hotel companies and tour operators, who innovated and looked for new ways of using free time, such as theme parks, sports, risk, etc.
Today the Hotel Geneve is still characterized by hosting major influences worldwide, tourists from all over the world and Mexicans who leave their mark on our facilities ready to provide the best services for each of them equally.
