I did a quick search on this topic and could not find any recent post about it so I will post this info to remind or educate.
The Mexican Tourist Tax is what most of us pay when coming here.
It is added into our airline ticket under that line of Taxes and/or Fees.
Check you ticket and it should be listed as UK tax code
It is about $35 Can or $490 Mex.
Today, I was helping someone book a ticket to Canada via Westjet and saved them this fee because I remembered they are except from this tax.
