The world may or may not end in 2012 but Mexico is sure to earn a lot from tourists in 2012. As 2011 draws to an end and stories about the 'end of the world' gaining strength, people are thronging to the 5 states (southeastern states of Campeche, Chiapas, Tabasco, Yucatán and Quintana Roo) which correspond to the early Mayan empire.
Recent estimates peg the number of arrivals at around 52 million (And India is expected to receive 5.5 million tourists this year :-o) which would generate around 270 million pesos (or US$ 19.5 million)*. The crowd will not only the the 'believers' but also students, academicians, astronomers (The Mayan calendar was a solar one) and other wanderers!
