Thousands of Americans are currently solidifying their plans to spend spring break in Mexico, however, there is a warning for tourists. While the vast majority travel safely, the U.S. Embassy wants visitors to consider this latest warning.
A Mexican Travel Advisory was released:
The alert reads, in part:
Violent crime – such as homicide, kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery – is widespread and common in Mexico. The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in many areas of Mexico, as travel by U.S. government employees to certain areas is prohibited or restricted. In many states, local emergency services are limited outside the state capital or major cities.
This year, more spring breakers are looking for adventure, like scuba diving or hiking in places like Mexico (Australia, Peru and Costa Rica are other hot spot destinations).
The U.S. Embassy urges spring breakers to travel smart and always be informed.
