Report Unveils Growth in U.S. Tourism to Mexico

MONEYBACK

Mexico City, Mexico - According to a recent report released by Eye for Travel, international travel in the U.S. has grown steadily in the past five years and will continue to grow as a result of low unemployment, increased spending and the dollar maintaining its purchasing power against major currencies. With Mexico accounting for 35% of U.S. outbound travel, only followed by Canada with an 18%, MONEYBACK, Mexico's leading tax return service, seeks to reward visitors traveling to Mexico.

As proximity and familiarity continue to be key factors of U.S. travelers when choosing their destination, along with the desire of year-round warm weather, it's no surprise this trend will continue to grow in upcoming years. However, many travelers are not aware they are eligible to receive a refund when shopping in Mexico.

“Our increase in tax-refund transactions support Eye for Travel's findings that Americans are traveling more and spending more when visiting Mexico,” said Danielle van der Kwartel, General Director of MONEYBACK. “Mexico is the ideal destination for U.S. travelers as they can find luxury shopping and world-class accommodations, and MONEYBACK offers them an incentive to enjoy leisure time in a friendly destination.”

Created as an incentive program to boost international tourism and shopping in Mexico, MONEYBACK refunds 8.9% of shopping expenses to international travelers. Travelers are eligible to submit their refund when purchasing from one of the 6,000 affiliated stores and items include jewelry, clothing, handcrafts, electronics, perfumes and more. With over 50 service locations throughout the country, covering major destinations such as Cozumel, Cancun, Mexico City, Puerto Vallarta, Monterrey, Guadalajara and more, travelers can request their refund before leaving the country by plane or cruise ship.

MONEYBACK aims to raise awareness of the program by providing webinars and newsletters to help travel agents inform their clients and assist them by filling out the forms. Travel agents can request brochures and marketing materials in English and Spanish, French and English, or Japanese/Korean/Mandarin/English by emailing ctorres@moneyback.mx.

To request brochures please provide your mailing address, name, agency and number of brochures needed. MONEYBACK will mail anywhere in the United States and Canada.
