Mexico to close UK tourist office

The Mexico Tourism Board is to close its UK office this week.

UK director Vicente Salas said in an email to travel industry partners: "I feel very fortunate for having had the opportunity to work with the British tourism industry and with all of you," he said.

"It was a pleasure and a privilege to work and promote the wonders of Mexico in your incredible country, Great Britain."

According to reports, the tourism board will use its $300 million annual budget to build a train connecting tourism hot spots and villages across the Mayan Peninsula.

The tourist board’s final event will be the annual Tianguis Turistico trade show in early April.
