Spanish term

.....en Pequeño

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) Business term on an academic document.
I am translating several academic documents from Mexico. This is one of the documents that appears to be a leaflet for a business event. Half of the document is missing (torn) so this is all the text I have:

SIEM
Sistema de Información Empresarial Mexicano
2010
Cámara Nacional de Comercio, Servicio y Turismo de Puerto Vallarta en Pequeño
Autorización No.
xxxxxxxxxxxx

I am having trouble trying to figure out what the "en Pequeño" means.
Any input appreciated. Thank you.

retail

I am not certain, but I think it may refer to "comercio en pequeño" or "al por menor".

Or it might refer to small businesses or SMEs!?

I think this link may prove it refers to "retail":

agree Luis Vasquez : I think, retail is much more specific than small scale.

I would say. If the text is supposed to be "Comercio en pequeño", then "small business" would do. Otherwise, for "Comercio, Servicio y Turismo" I'd use what I suggest above.
Peer comment(s):

agree neilmac : Even if they do mean "retail", it seems a rather folksy/informal way to express it IMHO.
