Background

CPTM is the abbreviation for Consejo de Promoción Turística de México, the former state-majority company responsible for supporting tourism promotion. Its remit included designing and coordinating national and international promotion strategies with the tourism ministry. It worked with public and private participants to promote Mexico as a destination.

The legal framework for its dissolution assigned oversight of liquidation to the tourism ministry and set out the liquidator's responsibilities. The closure order began that administrative process; it does not establish that every task ended on publication of the decree. CPTM's historical significance lies in its national promotion role. References to it in debates about tourism funding concern that former function, rather than the operation of a railway, airline or resort-development trust.
