Tourism is a huge source of income for Mexico. In 2007, it was found that $12.9 billion were brought in my tourism. 67% of the tourists of from the United States, taking advantage of attractive offers for traveling. Most tourists head to the beaches of Mexico to catch some sun on their vacation. Cancun and Mexico City are popular locations for tourists, because they have been developing with huge resorts that attract outsiders. Mexico is a common destination for Spring Break for many Americans, and Mexico gains from that season of tourism.
The largest national park in Mexico is Arrecife Alacranes National Park. It is actually entirely underwater as it is a reef in the Campeche Bank (southern end of Mexico). Birds are a major part of wildlife in Mexico. The beautiful colors and variety of birds attract birdwatchers. The Quetzal, shown below, is native to western Mexico.
The Palacio de Bellas Artes, shown below, is a huge museum in Mexico City, Mexico. The museum contains murals by Diego Rivera and Siqueiros. It also hosts many theatrical performances, dances, music, and opera. The Church of Santo Domingo de Guzman is now a popular museum. Rooms that used to be the monastery, is now occupied by the Cultural Centre de Oaxaca. The church is still used, but other portions of the building house famous artifacts and tombs.
