Mixed feelings on getaways to Mexico
Regarding “Fewer days at the beach,” Nov. 19:
I’ve been traveling to Mexican beach resorts -- Cancun, Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan -- for many years.
The people are always friendly and welcoming, the waters and beaches are beautiful and my wife and I always have a great vacation.
Travelers who are fearful of Mexico must come from another planet or need to get a life.

The decline in tourism to Mexico will continue. The corrupt police who harass tourists for bribes and the hotel and restaurant rip-offs are a few more reasons American tourists do not want to go to Mexico
It also seems as if Mexican authorities are not doing anything to address this situation.

Perhaps the decline in American tourists is caused by “Mexico fatigue.”
Frankly, there’s little reason for many of us to go to Mexico, for all of that country’s ills seem to have migrated here. To experience them, all we need to do is step outside our front doors.
