With all the recent bad press regarding drug traffic related gang crimes in Mexico, one has to wonder if that Mexico vacation is still safe.
Peter Diaz, President of VoyageMonkey.com Online Travel, compares travel to Mexico with any travel within the United States. Simply stated, “We all generally don’t take vacations to bad parts of Oakland California or South Central Los Angeles, yet we regularly hear about drug related crimes, gang violence and murders taking place right here in our own backyards.” Yet we don’t question if travel in the United States is safe.
The facts are that travel to such popular Mexican destinations as Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas, Cancun and other tourist spots in Mexico is generally safe. Most of the Mexican crimes in the press have been in the border towns and some of the larger cities. Victims are generally other gang members and authorities. Statistically this is not unusual when compared to the United States. The press has capitalized on these stories, as is expected. The event becomes a story and every news network puts their own spin on it, for days, or weeks, or months.
Several years ago a young woman named Natalee Holloway was murdered in Aruba and the press capitalized on it. Diaz says “Aruba is one on the safest places to travel to in the Caribbean. I would not think twice about vacationing in Aruba.” The Natalee Holloway story was rare to Aruba, but travel to Aruba was affected. The Natalle Holloway… Read the rest
