Mexico Tourism Board

As part of a more aggressive international promotional strategy in North America, the Mexico Tourism Board (MTB) will open a marketing office in Washington, D.C. in May, bringing the total number of offices in the region to nine.

Heading up the Washington, D.C. office will be Eduardo Chaillo, a Mexico Tourism Board veteran who once led the Mexico Convention Bureau (MCB) and most recently oversaw the MTB’s promotional efforts in the United States and Canada from the MTB’s midwestern headquarters in Chicago.

According to Chaillo, the office opening responds to a need to better service the northeast region, whose high population density and per-capita income make it one of Mexico’s most important international tourism feeder markets.

If you are moving 1,000 miles and your car has poor gas mileage, you can end up paying hundreds of dollars for gas. A lot of extra money is being shelled out to cover the cost. But if you use auto transport service, you end up paying less compared to cost on gas and normal wear and tear expenses.  One more possibility is that when you drive down your vehicle instead of shipping you may incur certain damages. In order to avoid this you can transport your vehicle.
