Religious tourism is on the upswing in Mexico, generating substantial inbound tourism, both in terms of numbers, as well as revenues. More than twenty million tourists visited the faith centres and religious sites, as per business intelligence generated from the CONCANACO- SERVYTUR. It stands for Confederation of National Chambers of Commerce, Services and Tourism. 12^th December is the key date, as visitors on that day stand roughly equal to the records established each year by Mecca in Saudi Arabia. The USA, Argentina, Germany, Colombia and Spain remain the largest source countries for these tourists. Nearly a third of the visitors to the renowned Basilica of Guadalupe are foreigners. Taxco, Oaxaca, San Luis Potosi and Queretaro remain others important religious destinations to visit in Mexico.
