Cancun will host the Global Flu Summit in Mexico, from July 1 to 3, 2009, which is expected to benefit the country and its tourism industry, said Cancun real estate agents, RE/MAX Investment Properties, today.

Despite a new theory that swine flu may have originated in Asia, Mexico can still show the world how fast recovery from a health scare can be and pass experiences on to other nations.

The event, being held July 1-3, 2009, expects the participation of 40 national ministers of health and heads from important organizations, such as Margaret Chan from the World Health Organization (WHO) and Mirta Roses of the Pan-American Organization of Health.

Margaret Chan recently praised Mexico for the openness and speed with which it implemented health measures.

RE/MAX Investment Properties said that despite new suggestions by the New York Times that swine flu originated in Asia, not Mexico, it is still a fantastic opportunity for Mexico to show the world how fast recovery from a health scare can be and pass experiences on to other nations.

The New York Times had reported this week that “Contrary to the popular assumption that the new swine flu pandemic arose on factory farms in Mexico, federal agriculture officials now believe that it most likely emerged in pigs in Asia, but then traveled to North America in a human”.
