Is it safe to go to Mexico?  As the owner of a Travel Agency I get asked daily about this.  Crime is causing Mexico to get a bad rap in 2009.  Not since 2005 and Hurricane Wilma has Mexico had to deal with such negative publicity.  The question, is it really safe or has the media blown this out of proportion?

Mexico Tourism Board

As part of a more aggressive international promotional strategy in North America, the Mexico Tourism Board (MTB) will open a marketing office in Washington, D.C. in May, bringing the total number of offices in the region to nine.

Heading up the Washington, D.C. office will be Eduardo Chaillo, a Mexico Tourism Board veteran who once led the Mexico Convention Bureau (MCB) and most recently oversaw the MTB’s promotional efforts in the United States and Canada from the MTB’s midwestern headquarters in Chicago.

According to Chaillo, the office opening responds to a need to better service the northeast region, whose high population density and per-capita income make it one of Mexico’s most important international tourism feeder markets.
