This month speakers from the National Council of Tourism, headed by ex-president Miguel Aleman, are campaigning throughout North America to build up Mexico's industria de los viejitos-the oldster industry-which the council estimates would be worth $400 million a year if Mexico could attract only 1% of the annual retirees in the U.S. and Canada...
