Their statistics aren’t great… they only have data from the airport and 20% of hotels, the rest of the business doesn’t talk to them at all. My experience… Germany was up quite a bit. Didn’t see a single Mexican visitor.

I keep seeing organized groups of mexican visitors around old Montreal and the Quartier Latin. Most of them with their passport in a clear plastic square hanging from their neck which seems to me like a terrible idea.
