According to the government of Merida, to publicize the benefits of Mexican destinations is the result of fulfilling the bilateral diplomatic agreement between the Republic of China and Merida, established earlier this year, under the 474 anniversary of the foundation of Merida.

This agreement, signed by the mayor of the capital of Yucatan, Mauricio Vila Dosal; the Chinese Ambassador Qiu Xiaoqi; the president of the Chinese Association in the Yucatan Peninsula, Bai Yi, and the General Ministry of Chengdu, Qiu Haiming, establishes the promotion of Merida as American Capital of Culture 2017.
