Mexico calls for revisions to US travel advisories
Mexico’s tourism ministry has taken aim at the U.S. State Department’s ‘sweeping’ travel advisories.
They unnecessarily keep American tourists away from certain safe areas, the ministry says.
Tourism Minister Miguel Torruco recently said the US should ‘detail the areas that could represent problems and not generalize.’
“Some isolated cases of insecurity are many kilometers from tourism destinations.”
The State Department currently warns travelers of kidnapping risks in Colima, Guerrero, Michoacán, Sinaloa, Tamaulipas and Zacatecas.
Tourist-friendly Mazatlan is in Sinaloa.
Talks on better ways to accurately highlight risks to travelers have been going on for several months.
Following talks between Torruco and U.S. Ambassador Esteban Moctezuma, travel advisory revisions could be made, local reported.
‘Mexico never agreed with the alerts’ imposed unilaterally, said Foreign Affairs Minister Marcelo Ebrard.
