"Toronto a hot spot for Mexican tourists"
When the writers for the racy Mexican soap opera Tormenta en el Paraiso ("Storms in Paradise") decided to send their heroine abroad, only one backdrop came to mind - the CN Tower.
(although, that was probably because the US had some sort of opposition to mexicans working in THEIR country... taking jobs for deserving american lazy-asses! it's just ain't patriotic! they don't take to kindly to strangers in them parts)
This past May, the show's 9.5 million viewers watched the lissome adventurer from Mexico tour the Royal Ontario Museum, study English at the University of Toronto, eat street meat, go shopping and brave the CN Tower's glass floor.
The city's TV exposure down south is likely to bolster an already booming market from Mexican tourists. Since 2004, Toronto-bound travel from Mexico has increased by 50 per cent.
the americans would have you believe that the only reason they'd come up here is to sneak into the states from the north where the immigrant watch is not as vigilant. so not only do americans have to needlessly worry about terrorists sneaking in from canada, they now have to worry about canadian tourist mexicans too!
too bad canadian/american television can't reciprocate for mexico's tourist industry... anytime you see a character going to mexico, they are inevitably going for drugs, or guns, or drugs, or money, or drugs. oh and don't forget the drugs! and you gotta know someone is going to die if the show take a detour down south. hurrah mexican tourism!
