The Mexico Tourism Promotion Council (CPTM) has announced that all of its tourism destinations are open and operating normally throughout the country, and invites tourists to book your travels to enjoy the best of Mexico. September’s earthquakes, which affected parts of Chiapas, Oaxaca, Puebla, Mexico City and Morelos, did not hit tourist areas.
