I don't even want to think about it, but my mother is driving me crazy worried about the tourism alerts for Cancun. I know it has been on the news and on the front page on the Sunday Houston Cronicle about teens traveling to Cancun for Spring Break. Everyone knows how the media loves to hype everything up and I just wanted to get the other brides on this forums opinion. Does anyone know first hand on the situation with traveling to Mexico? I would love to just ignore it and hope for the best for our wedding in September, but it might not be wise. :) Please let me know what you know about the situation or opinion. Thank you, Monica

Hey Monica! Well, I don't know anything firsthand, but I have heard about some of the stuff on the news. My fiance looked it up on the gov't website, and he didn't seem to concerned...and he's a little paranoid! He's a police officer, so it's always safety first! Haha. From what I understand, it's just a general increase in crime in all of Mexico.

 

It isn't enough for me to change my plans or any of my guests either. I think we might be a little more hesitant about going off the resort and exploring or shopping though.

Since I was in Mexico when Cancun was in the headlines, I had completely missed the news reports everyone is speaking about. So I spent a few minutes researching what is going on.

Here is the travel warning published by the Department of State. Note that they warn against travel along the borders, especially along the Guatemala border. You will be no where near this.

MIG: Mexico Travel Alert

 

Here is a link to the Tulum board (also a great place to learn anything about Tulum) addressing the recent article. I agree with with Howie, that a stronger police and military presence is a good thing. Just think of it in terms of the US. If a US official were murdered we would have a higher police force, actually making the area safer.

I noticed that the referenced article is no longer published. I found one published the same day. It looks like the murder in Cancun was a political assassination and not applicable to tourism (in my opinion).

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
