Look for Direct Air Route between Mexico and China in 2011

Across the world travelers will soon be able to travel directly from Beijing, China to Mexico City, Mexico. The route is expected to open before the end of 2011.

This new direct route between Mexico City and Beijing is viewed as seen as one of the top priorities of Mexico's Tourism Ministry, and it's a matter that's being discussed with several international airlines. A flight between Mexico and Hong Kong is in the discussion as well.

"In an interview with Xinhua, Rodolfo Lopez Negrete, director of the Tourism Promotion Council of Mexico's Tourism Ministry said,'As part of the many initiatives to promote the influx of Chinese tourists to Mexico, the ministry and the Promotion Council have worked closely together with Mexican embassies and consulates in China to speed up the processing of tourist and business visas for Chinese nationals.'
