Despite the recent scares involving kidnapping, drug wars and the like, the city still needs to survive. The city of Tijuana is counting down to the city's 120th birthday, on July 11, by highlighting 120 things you can do in their city.
"We want to show people how TIjuana is growing, and invite visitors to come and experience, or re-experience, its fun side as well as our hospitality, cultural and culinary offerings," said Jose Avelar, Vice President of the Tijuana Convention and Visitors Bureau (COTUCO).
Monday, the Convention and Visitor's Bureau is releasing a 10-month calendar that showcases some of the city's most notable tourist destinations including, high end art exhibits, duty-free shopping, casinos and of course, some of the best places to grab a bite to eat (or drink!).
"There are so many wonderful things that visitors can do in our city, particularly in the safe Downtown Tourist District. Visitors have been enjoying the great food, culture, shopping and entertainment in Tijuana for over 100 years," said Ana Alicia Meneses, President of COTUCO.
