Is It Safe to Visit Mexico? 

Safety in Mexico is a hot topic these days, and while some people have the misconception that “no one is traveling to Mexico right now,” the first quarter of 2011 has proven to be one of prosperity and growth in both volume and revenue for Mexico’s tourism. The Ministry of Tourism recently reported that during the Easter holiday period, hotel occupancy in the inner cities reported a 4.2 increase compared to last year and several major hotel chains are investing in Mexico and planning to open new properties in the near future. Here are some other related facts to consider:

• The U.S. Department of State has noted, “Millions of U.S. citizens travel safely to Mexico each year, including at least 1 million U.S. citizens who live in Mexico.”
• In 2010, more than 22 million foreigners visited Mexico (a large majority from Britain, Canada and the U.S.).
• Foreign tourists that visited Mexico in 2010 were surveyed and 98 percent of those travelers often return and recommend Mexico as a destination of choice.
• A recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle entitled “Five Safest Places in Mexico for Travelers” listed Baja California Sur as the 5th safest of all 31 states in Mexico.
• In relations to the drug wars, the limited land transit makes the smuggling of guns and drugs through Puerto Vallarta very difficult and thus a non-issue in the destination.
• Authorities in Mexico are working closely with the destinations pointed out by the travel advisory to ensure that there is necessary infrastructure in place to address any safety concerns.
• Most drug trafficking-related violence takes place in towns near the US border, not resort towns.
• Mexico is the second-most visited country for cruise travelers.

With all that being said, the country asks all visitors to still exercise the same safety precautions they would use when visiting any tourist destinations within or outside their own country. For more information, please visit www.visitmexico.com.
