Mexico: foreign direct investment in tourism 2010-2020

In the 2010s, the annual foreign direct investment in tourism in Mexico experienced strong fluctuations. In 2015, the Latin American country registered the lowest foreign investment in this sector, with 585.2 million U.S. dollars. On the contrary, foreign investors infused nearly 1.65 billion U.S. dollars on the Mexican tourism sector in 2012, the highest figure of the past decade. During the first semester of 2020, foreign direct investment in tourism in Mexico amounted to approximately 351 million U.S. dollars, 27.8 percent of what was directly invested by foreign financiers in this sector a year earlier.
