Mexico’s Culinary Tourism

We all know that Mexico is an experience – the night life, the beaches, the culture, the history. Most people who have visited Mexico love it. Well, the experience is expanding somewhat…
As Mexico strives to attract tourist in the wake of an international recession, culinary tourism is becoming a growing focus of the hospitality industry in Mexico, according to MSNBC.
Mexican food is appealing to most of the world. Every little town in half the world has a Mexican restaurant and people near it spend half the week thinking about chips and salsa, fajitas and tacos, beer and margaritas. But Mexican food offers more choices than just whether to have to chicken or the beef fajita.
The MSNBC story looks at a recent gather of 100 chefs and foodies in Mexico for a 10-day event to promote culinary tourism. It gave me some ideas about things to try next time I get to Mexico.
