It was a venue where Michoacan could put its best foot forward for national and international tourism professionals.  It included not only our primary tourist attractions, but also our rich culture.

The Michoacan delegation was led by the Secretary of Michoacan Tourism Roberto Monroy Garcia and his entourage, including hotel owners from around the State.  Naturally, Hotel Mansion Iturbe was there as part of the Patzcuaro group.

The Michoacan booth was festively adorned with the creative wares of our Michoacan artisans, and with photos of our attractions and our traditional Michoacan cuisine.

Attendees couldn’t miss the enormous, whimsical sombrero with streamers that topped our booth.  Representations of our famous monarch butterflies were part of the display, and guests could even sample our mezcal nearby.

A new Tourist’s Guide of Michoacan was presented by "Mexico Desconocido" with information on various World Heritage Sites – of which Michoacan is one – along with different “routes,” including those of Don Vasco, the Turtle, Mezcal, Purepecha plateau, etc.

The presentation of this Tourist’s Guide included an acknowledgement of the famed designer Cristina Pineda for promoting the cultural richness of Michoacan and Mexico, through her company Pineda Covalin.
