The dates for the 45th Tianguis Turistico Mexico in Merida have been moved from Nov. 21 to 24 to Nov. 16 to 19, 2021, said Miguel Torruco Marques, Mexico secretary of tourism, and Mauricio Vila Dosal, Yucatan governor.

“After analyzing the requests of wholesale agencies, hosted buyers and international buyers, especially from the United States, and in order to have the best edition of Tianguis Turistico Mexico, the Ministry of Tourism and the Government of Yucatan have decided to have the event a few days earlier than previously announced, which is the most important in terms of tourism in Latin America,” Torruco and Vila said in a statement.

“The state of Yucatan will be ready to show itself as the great destination that it is, but also as that place where so many things have originated,” said Michelle Fridman Hirsch, tourism minister for the state of Yucatan.

“This time, Yucatan will be the origin of a new era for tourism, the stage where our industry is reborn.”

The event will implement health and safety protocols from the World Organization of the Health and Mexico’s Ministry of Health.

Attendees will be required to take antigen tests. Those with positive results will be unable to attend the conference.
