Number of Mexico Foreign Visitors 2011
By Nancy Trejos - Not so long ago, Mexico was the go-to vacation destination for many Americans. But more recently, the country has become something of a travel pariah. Drug violence has left innocent bystanders dead in border towns such as Ciudad Juarez, and the U.S. State Department has warned against travel south of the border. Just last month, it warned of possible increased violence in the state of Chihuahua.
Nonetheless, the Mexican government says, the number of foreign visitors to the country grew 2.1 percent between January and May, compared with the same period in 2010. Of roughly 22 million international visitors annually, 60 percent are from the United States, and Mexican officials would like to keep it that way. On a recent U.S. public relations swing, Mexican Tourism Secretary Gloria Guevara sat down with Travel’s Nancy Trejos to talk about why Americans should keep Mexico on their favorite destinations list.
