Daniel Chávez Morán, founder of Mexican tourism consortium Grupo Vidanta; Germán Larrea, owner of Mexican conglomerate Grupo México; Miguel Rincón, CEO of Mexican paper manufacturer Bio Pappel; Bernardo Gómez, CEO of Mexican media giant Televisa; and Carlos Hank, CEO of Mexico’s financial group, Grupo Financiero Banorte, were among those reported to have arrived at the national palace for the meeting. Speaking to press, Rincón said that Mexico’s economy was doing “very well”, and that he thought Mexico was “the best place to invest in the world”.
