New Mexico Tourism Department Online Business Directory Guidelines

Consistent with the mission of the New Mexico Tourism Department (NMTD), the purpose of the Department's website www.newmexico.org is to market New Mexico as an enchanting destination to the world. In accord with our mission, the following guidelines have been established for determining which external businesses or organizations will be allowed to list on www.newmexico.org:

  1. The listing organization or business must have a website and must provide a link back to www.newmexico.org that is prominently displayed on their website.
  2. The organization or business that wishes to place a link or listing on NMTD's website must provide goods, services or information through their website that directly benefit the traveling public. The Department reserves the right to determine the relevance of the organization or business as it relates to the tourism industry.
  3. Any organization or business that wishes to place a link or listing on NMTD's website must be Based in New Mexico.
  4. The organization or business should provide goods, services or information that are unique to New Mexico.
  5. The linking website's information must be presented in a positive, appealing manner.
  6. The linking organization must provide a good or service that reinforces the Department's mission to market New Mexico as a travel destination.

The New Mexico Tourism Department reserves the right to deny a link to any business or organization that does not meet our guidelines or does not adhere to the department's mission as determined by NMTD.

Beginning March 20, 2008, organizations or businesses that wish to have a listing on NMTD's website must apply for a listing by filling out the online business listing form located on NMTD's website (www.newmexico.org/NM_business_listings). NMTD personnel will then review the listing request and approve or deny the listing based on our published guidelines.

The NMTD Web Director will determine the most effective placement of external links on NMTD's website.

Acceptance of a listing on www.newmexico.org does not constitute an endorsement of that business by the New Mexico Tourism Department. Listings are provided as a service to the traveling public, but the Tourism department does not in any way vouch for the accuracy or reliability of external websites.

Placing a listing on the tourism website is provided as a free benefit by the Tourism department. The linking organization or business is responsible for the accuracy and content of any information they enter on NMTD's website. If changes need to be made to a listing, and the link requestor is not able to make the necessary changes using the NMTD website business listing application, NMTD personnel will make the changes on a case by case basis, subject to their adherence to our published guidelines. It is not the responsibility of NMTD personnel to review a requestor's link or website for accuracy or functionality.

The New Mexico Tourism Department reserves the right to review all listings or links and delete them without notice. The New Mexico Tourism Department reserves the right to terminate or modify its website without prior notice.
