Cabos Vacation and is Mexico Safe for Travelers? Author: admin Apr 01

Cabos Vacation presents the following information about the safety of Mexico for travelers.  I have traveled extensively throughout Mexico, and have lived on the border with Juarez in El Paso, Texas.  The current drug-related violence has been mostly in the northern areas of Mexico, with some violence in the interior of Mexico involving Mexican nationals, not North American or other tourists.  I do believe that travelers interested in visiting Cabo San Lucas are secure in their travel plans.  With that said, travelers to Mexico should still observe key safety precautions, as they would with any international travel. 

By Ellen Creager - Detroit Free Press

How safe are resorts in Mexican tourist areas?

During the past three months, Acapulco and Cancún have had sporadic violence and drug-related homicides. However, as in many large U.S. cities, the violence is between gangs and law enforcement and is not in tourist areas. Tourists have not been targeted.

Thousands of spring-break visitors have poured into Cancún, Acapulco, Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta as usual, with Mexican authorities stepping up patrols and vigilance to ensure safety in the tourist towns.

Last year, more than 18 million Americans visited Mexico, which is the 10th most popular tourist destination in the world.

A State Department travel alert issued Feb. 20 does not urge travelers to avoid Mexico. It only urges caution and advises against travel to Mexican border towns such as Tijuana, Juárez and Laredo.

In a spring-break advisory, it also advised that travelers to Acapulco be vigilant about personal safety. In Acapulco, where an estimated 22,000 American students are expected this spring, officials are coordinating enhanced security in the tourist zones, according to the Mexico Tourist Board.

Still, the major dangers for tourists to Mexico remain auto accidents, falls, drownings, pickpockets or sexual assaults related to drinking and parties. There were two fatal shark attacks on surfers off the far southern Pacific coast of Mexico last year, according to Britain’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

The State Department urged visitors to avoid swimming in rough surf near Revolcadero Beach in Acapulco or anywhere off the Pacific-side beaches in Cabo San Lucas, due to riptides and undertows.

In an emergency while on vacation, U.S. citizens should contact these American consulates:

Acapulco: Inside Hotel Continental Emporio, Costera Miguel Aleman 121, Office 14. Telephone: 52-744-484-0300.

Cabo San Lucas: Blvd. Marina Local C-4, Plaza Nautica, Col. Centro. Telephone: 52-624-143-3566.

Puerto Vallarta: Paseo de Los Cocoteros No. 85 Sur, Paradise Plaza, Office L-7, Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit C.P. 63732. Telephone: 52-322-222-0069.

Cancún: Ocampo No. 305, Col. Centro. Telephone: 52-998-883-0272.
