Addressing Concerns Regarding Travel to Mexico

Categories

The major point of discussion regarding travel right now is regarding all-inclusive resorts in Mexico.  There are reports of some tragic incidents and disturbing situations that visitors in Mexico have experienced. 

Travelers' concerns are very important and should not be diminished. The way people feel about and perceive these situations can differ from person to person. Here are some important things to remember:

• Just to put it into perspective:  There are approximately 35 million tourists annually visiting Mexico and the percentage of these incidents are very small.
• Try to stay positive and enthused about vacations overseas.
• If travelers are no longer interested in traveling to Mexico because of these stories, there are always other options in the Caribbean that may be a great alternative.
• In addition to swimsuits and party clothes, travelers should pack their common sense. If something seems amiss in your destination, it very well may be. Do something about it. Travel in pairs (at least). Do not become the most trusting person on the planet because you left your cares behind.

The concerns are real and should be considered when planning travel to Mexico. Don't let the stories scare you away from considering this destination, but be sure to do your research and select an area that will make you feel comfortable.
