For Braulio Arsuaga, president of the National Tourism Business Council (CNET), the concern lies in the way in which projects such as the Mayan train have been financed, through the right to collect that previously went to the Tourism Promotion Council of Mexico (CPTM). ) for promotional activities. In addition, he was skeptical about the possible disappearance of the National Fund for the Promotion of Tourism (Fonatur), whose tasks of care and maintenance of the fully planned centers (CIP) could pass into the hands of the municipalities.
Francisco Madrid, general director of Cicotur Anahuac, acknowledges that it is important to continue promoting investment in infrastructure for the country’s tourism development, but expressed his skepticism about tourism management by the Army as long as there are investors interested in this sector.
“It would probably not be the best decision for the State to intervene in tourism companies as long as there is interest from investors to be in this sector,” Madrid said.
