TORONTO — Cesar Mendoza, Regional Director, Canada for the Mexico Tourism Board, is saying farewell for now – but hopefully not goodbye – as the Toronto office of the Mexico Tourism Board closes its doors today, March 1.

The Mexico Tourism Board has been active in Canada for decades. The Toronto office, located at 2 Bloor St. West, will be closed indefinitely, confirms Mendoza.

As reported on Travelweek.ca, and in the Jan. 24, 2019 issue of Travelweek, MTB offices around the world are closing at part of a restructuring plan brought down by Mexico’s new government.

“Mexico’s new elected federal government recently decided that every international promotional effort – both economic and tourism related – will be handled by our Embassies and Consulates around the world,” says Mendoza.

“It has been an absolute honour working and getting to know so many great professionals like yourself for more than 15 years. I will always remain an avid and proud promoter of my beautiful country.”
