I hope this is the right place to post this, if not, please move it at will.
My family owns a big and very beautiful house in a very popular colonial city here in Mexico (San Miguel de Allende). This city is always filled with American tourists, mostly older people.
We have a business proposition from someone (he's from Mexico city) who wants to rent our house to start a bed&breakfast; so what I'm trying to find out, is if his is a good offer, so i was hoping someone could point me to some statistics regarding tourism from the US to Mexico (or the world in general). How much has the current economic situation affected tourism; what do you expect in the coming years?
We don't want to be greedy and turn down what could potentially be a nice fixed monthly rent just 'cause we think it might be to low and that we could make more money if we run it ourselves.
Are there any charts that show the number of US tourist, year to year, to see what the current trend is?
i'd love to hear your opinions on this!
Thank you!
