Mexico City is the capital of Mexico, located in the valley of the plateau of the central and southern Mexico. It is the oldest city in the Western Hemisphere. As a world famous tourist city, Mexico City has many historical sites such as the Constitution Square, the Teotihuacan ancient city, the sun pyramid and the moon pyramid. They attract thousands of visitors every day to visit. With the launch of the Guangzhou - Vancouver - Mexico City service, China Southern will set up an efflcient air bridge to have a personal taste of the Mexican enthusiasm and the exotic Mexican style.

According to Xiao Yong, general manager of China Southern Airlines Guangzhou Offlce, they have been working closely with large travel agencies and product providers to launch a variety of tourism products to Mexico to meet the needs of different customers. "Before the launch, the travel from China to Mexico is very expensive. As a result, people rarely choose this destination and travel packages are usually around RMB18,000-28,000 yuan. We believe that this market will be very promising with the frequent economic and trade exchanges between China and Mexico, as well as the diversiflcation of the domestic tourist market . "
