With the backing of the Economy Secretariat, Nacional Financiera (Nafin) and the commercial banking sector, the Secretariat of Tourism (Sectur) launched a diverse programme to finance small- and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) working in tourism. Each bank will develop its own programme through Sectur.
Sectur is launching the financing programmes to help the SMEs reach higher standards of quality, modernity and world-class service to satisfy the needs of tourists, it said. In addition to the direct financing programmes, the modernisation programme involves workshops to help companies make optimum use of financing and learn about available opportunities.
Another cooperative programme is the financing programme offered by the Mexican Foreign Trade Bank (Bancomext) for labour capital and fixed investments in lodging, tourism development, real estate development and recreational services.
