Statement Released on recommendations for travel to Mexico by the Government of the USA

Wednesday, August 23, 2017

Dear Partner,
 

Due to the recent travel advisory sent out by the US State Department we feel impelled to share with you a clarification as it is important to point out the following:

• The travel alert was issued for the entire country and different criteria apply for each state; in the case of Quintana Roo, no travel restriction has been issued. The update is limited to warning about possible risks due to two factors: the supposed increase in the homicide rate for the 2016-2017 period and confrontations between criminal groups.

• The government of Quintana Roo, through the Department of Tourism, continues to work closely with the Federal Government and hand in hand with the General Consulate of the United States in Mexico, communicating the different measures taken by the government of Carlos Joaquin to ensure security in our state.

• The state government has always been open to dialogue with all sectors of the tourism industry, has provided documentation and technical support regarding the real facts and their implications, and is constantly working to guarantee the safety of tourists who visit Quintana Roo.

• Quintana Roo is not unaffected by what is happening in the rest of the world and is working to guarantee the success of the tourist industry in the destinations of the Mexican Caribbean and ensure their continued popularity. This success is due to a competitive productive sector that is united and able to react and face up to challenges that can arise.

 Regardless that is official information, for International Incentive Travel the safety and security of our clients is our most valuable asset to safeguard and we will not take any chance to jeopardize it.

We are also speaking on behalf of all our Business Partners who are seriously concern about this affair. We have their full support to protect our client’s integrity and their best interests.

We hope this information that can help to clear out any doubts you may have if you are considering Cancun or Riviera Maya as the destination for your next Group or Event.

We would love to see you here in the future soon.
