Yesterday the "Bienes Raices 2007" International Mexico real estate expo kicked-off and was very well attended for a Friday morning/afternoon.  The first day began with a welcome ceremony as well as the opening by AMPI National President Mario Aviles.  The expo director from TradeX also welcomed all exhibitors, visitors, and real estate professionals to the show and the ribbon was cut officially starting the 2007 expo.

Even though the show is in Mexico City there are exhibitors from Canada, USA, Panama, Nicaragua, and other countries as well as this is truly an international expo.  The attendence is expected to grow today (Saturday) with the biggest day anticipated to be Sunday. Here are some photos from the first day at the expo in Mexico City, Mexico.

The Riviera Maya is well represented at this show as many investors and visitors have a keen interest in this area of the world.  Quadra Alea and La Amada from Cancun, Mexico is represented by Ruiz Barton Realtors in Playa Del Carmen.  Also exhibiting is Bob McCain and his team from Caribe Properties in Playa Del Carmen.  Other exhibitors from the area include Tierra Azul presenting the Downtown Tulum project from Tulum, Mexico.  SIMCA develpors presenting two new projects has a very impressive booth and attracts attention as they are the only ones here with a palm tree and REAL sand.  The Emerald Project from Cancun is here with Costa Realty and also Mareazul from Playa Del Carmen.

 All included there are more than 100 exhibitors covering everything from Graphic design and renderings to web consultants such as www.solutionsabroad.com.  I had the pleasure of visitng with Simon Burgess the Sales and Marketing Director of solutions abroad.  This is a fantastic resource on the Internet for any expats looking for a "one stop" shop to find information for all things pertaining to moving and living in Mexico.
