State Department issues Travel Advisory for Mexico
| The U.S. State Department has issued a Travel Advisory regarding increasing violence in Mexico and more specifically for cities along the U.S./Mexico border. This Travel Alert updates security information for U.S. citizens traveling and living in Mexico. It expires on August 20, 2009.
While millions of U.S. citizens safely visit Mexico each year (including thousands who cross the land border every day for study, tourism or business), violence in the country has increased recently. The greatest increase in violence has occurred near the U.S. border. However, U.S. citizens traveling throughout Mexico should exercise caution in unfamiliar areas and be aware of their surroundings at all times. U.S. citizens are urged to be alert to safety and security concerns when visiting the border region. For more information, read the Mexico alert. And for more detailed information on staying safe in Mexico, please see the Mexico Country Specific Information at: http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_970.html. |
