Retrieving Tourism in Mexico

To give the task a rather manageable base from which the evaluation will spring, it only would be important to slightly revisit some of the major issues in line with the promotion in question. To begin with, Vive Mexico is a public relations campaign which was recently launched by the President of Mexico. The precise value of the campaign was estimated at ninety two million dollars. Several targets and goals were put in place during the birthing of this noble idea hence the success of the campaign was aimed at promoting a number of key areas or rather sectors in the country. The main aim of the campaign was to promote travel not only to Mexico but also within the same country.

In order to ensure that the strategies put in place were practical and effective, the President made certain key adjustments in certain sectors within the country. For instance, the President asked all the groups concerned with vacation and resort to offer special travel packages and deals as well as discounts. All these were aimed at promoting both the vacation club members and the non-members. In addition to that, the President also involved the citizens and celebrities like athletes and other public figures. These individuals were given room to contribute to the campaign by helping to spread the much needed positive information about tourism in the land.

Objectives/programming

The strategy in this case therefore involved the citizens spreading positive information about Mexican destinations. At the same time, the athletes, actors and other public figures were some of the main individuals who were involved by being allowed to take part in advertisements. These advertisements went a long way in offering testimonials on behalf of Mexico’s Tourism Industry. Some of the internationally popular figures who notably took part in this campaign were; Spanish tenor Placido Domingo, Diego Luna who is a Mexican Film actor and Rafael Marquez who is a football star playing for FC Barcelona. They featured in several adverts all of which were targeted at ensuring that the goals of the public relations campaign launched by the President were met. The following are therefore some of the outstanding objectives of the public relations promotion:

Promoting/changing the face of tourism in Mexico

While unveiling the whole issue, The President categorically stated that the venture if appropriately embraced by the citizens and the parties involved, would certainly change the face of tourism in Mexico. According to him, the campaign would involve an unprecedented investment in the Tourism industry. He therefore urged all the involved parties like the advertisement agencies and the tourism fraternity to keenly take note of their responsibilities in order to ensure that much is gained from this project. The President not only viewed the campaign as a mere short term venture meant to correct a periodic lack, however, he assured the citizens that the fruits that would emerge from this campaign would leave a permanent mark in the country’s tourism industry.

Enhancing national unity among the Mexican citizens

 In addition to that, the campaign would also offer an appropriate avenue from which the country’s national unity would be rebuilt. In other words, it is a fact worth noting that bringing the citizens together has been quite a problem due to the recurrent challenges faced by the country. As a result, the President noted that a selfless involvement in this campaign by the citizens and other individuals would not only boost the image of the tourism industry but also help in re-establishing and consequently stabilizing national unity in the country.

Exposing and exploring the capabilities of Mexico in various fraternities
            Mexico has been little known among its neighbors, perhaps some of the surrounding nations have always believed that the country hasn’t much to attract investments especially in line with tourism. In line with the same aspect, the President also revealed an encouraging statement that the “Vive Mexico” campaign was equally aimed at promoting the capability of Mexico as a country in connection to various fraternities. The above argument can be confirmed from a quoted speech by the President which went thus “The point is for them to say what is true: that Mexico lives, and lives intensely, through each of its people, in each of its neighborhoods, in its fields and in its cities,"
