As addressed in [|Mexico Now], locals and visitors have never been as connected as they are today. This newfound awareness is both local and global, and the awareness of one to the other is undergoing a wired and wireless transformation.

So how does this impact the [|Tianguis Turistíco]?

We hear more from the ministers and consultants than from business owners, the guides, the artisans and other locals who are front-line ambassadors for national and international visitors. The president’s press releases will be published online, but try to seek out directories of Indigenous artisans and where to find their work.

Live video is a must. Remote participants need access to presentations and press conferences. Any tourism event worth its salt this year has [|livestreaming video] starting with the exhibitors — show us your stand. Tip: Use your Facebook account or [|Periscope]. “Pictures or it didn’t happen” has been usurped by “Livestreaming video or it’s not happening.”

Some background: I have fond memories of attending Mexico’s Tianguis Turístico, twice when I won the ‘Lente de Plata’ award for [|Planeta] in 1999 and 2002. That said, if the objective is to bring visitors to Mexico, I have found the Tianguis, like most travel trade shows, needs to be re-imagined.

Is there live and recorded video from the most recent Tianguis?
 * Questions **

Is there recorded video from previous Tianguis, including 2002?

How does Tianguis neutralize its carbon output? How will Tianguis contribute to the conservation of local biodiversity? How will Tianguis support rural communities to improve their quality of life? Is there a directory of Indigenous-owned tourism services? Where are Mexico’s tourism press releases posted online? [|What is the status of ecotourism and sustainable tourism in Mexico?]

2015 The [|Tianguis Turistíco] has begun in Mexico, the first time in Acapulco for many years. In 2015 the event promises to transmit press conferences via livestreaming video ([|see the multimedia archives]). Will there be access to presentations and press releases? What will will learn from this year's event?

For those hacking the event, use the Twitter hashtag [|#Tianguis2015]

I have fond memories of attending Mexico's Tianguis Turistico, twice when I won the 'Lente de Plata' award for [|Planeta], but in more recent years I have found the Tianguis, like most travel trade shows, needs re-imagining. Compare and contrast: itb (germany ) indaba ( durban, south africa ) tianguis turistico ( mexico ) trenz ( new zealand ) wtm ( london, england )

What do I find lacking with these events? Honestly, I see very few local voices articulated and amplified. We hear more from the ministers and consultants than from the business owners, the guides, the artisans and other locals who stand to benefit from visitors. As I point out in [|Mexico Now], the tourism sector is undergoing a transformation that connects locals and visitors as never before. These are the stories we want and need to hear.

These are the stories that catalyze armchair and active travelers and engage locals, but which simply are not revealed during typical tourism trade shows.
