The Secretaría de Turismo of Mexico City acts as the city government's tourism authority. It sets tourism policy for the capital and runs its registers for short-term lets.
On 30 September 2026 it formalised a host register and a platform register. Host registrations last one year and are renewable in the final 30 days of the term. The registers make the secretariat the body that holds the city's data on short-let hosts and the platforms that list them.
It is a city body, separate from Mexico's federal Secretaría de Turismo, and a different institution from the Secretaría de Seguridad Ciudadana, the city's police force.
Secretaría de Turismo formalises short-let registers
On 30 September the Secretaría de Turismo put Mexico City's host and platform registers for short-term lets on a formal footing. A host registration lasts one year and can be renewed only in the final 30 days of its term, so a host WHO misses that window must register afresh.
The registers give the secretariat its own record of WHO lets what, after the city's CAP on short lets froze during the World Cup in June. They arrive as federal deputies weigh a rise in The National tourist entry fee from 983 to 1,334.80 pesos for 2027, a separate charge the secretariat does not set.
