The second day at Expo Canitec 2012 in Acapulco had less attendees that years before, and the event is now getting ready to shut its doors.

The second day at the event was notably less crowded than expected.

Low attendance. That was everyone's opinion at Canitec. Both attendees and exhibitors were surprised by the small crowd, significantly smaller than previous years.
Once the excitement of the first day and the president's arrival was over, the event's second day was far less busy, and the hallways seemed deserted.
So what happened? That was the question on everyone's mind. The answers ttv got were quite diverse: not many airlines actually go to Acapulco; the fact that the presidential candidates were not there; crime rates… All factors that may explain what happened.

Yet, one thing's certain; attendees were few, but good. Even if the number of attendees was low, those who needed to be there, were there.
The evening witnessed several meetings, announcements and deals.
Among the stands, which were all very creative, there was a high number of people at Televisa's, which presented shows and celebrities, attracting people all the time. The Mexican group certainly felt at home.
As the second day ended, the third and last day is expected to be even less busy, as it usually happens at these types of events.
