Mexico has been selected to host several major tourism and industry congresses in different regions. 

In late 2026, Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo is scheduled to host the XVII National and Ibero-American Congress of Tourist Guides. The event, titled ‘Atrévete y Cámbiate el Chip’, focuses on professional training in areas such as artificial intelligence and emotional intelligence for tourism workers. This follows a reported 6 percent increase in passenger arrivals to the region during the first half of 2026.

Looking further ahead, Oaxaca has been designated as the host for the XXXIII National Congress of the Meetings Industry (CNIR) in September 2027. The congress is expected to attract over 800 professionals and generate an economic impact exceeding 25 million pesos.
