'Come to Mexico- we are close, we are competitive, and we can meet your highest expectations. We are also a destination that offers more: great weather; wonderful, unique hotels you won't find anywhere else in the world; and a varied landscape unlike any other'
Martha Varela, Regional Director, Midwest USA MTB

VAT in Mexico? NADA!
As of January 2004, Mexico has repealed its long-standing 15 percent value added tax for foreign meetings and conventions. These activities will now be classified as an export, which means that foreign tourists who travel to Mexico expressly to participate in congress, conventions or fairs are exempt from paying the VAT for hotels and related services provided by the hotels.

In order to enjoy this exemption planners and clients have to meet certain requirements. This includes having the participants confirm migratory status, pay for services with a credit card issued by a foreign country and make arrangements for their hotel and related services through the organizers of the event. For more information please contact us aca.groupreservations@fairmont.com
