Why do tourists keep coming to Mexico in spite of the violence? During the past few years, the narcotics wars have taken an estimated 30,000 lives. Taking a look at the situation, the British magazine “Economist” explained that the cost of a Mexican holiday is 5 percent lower than it was two years ago and the risks from being killed by a stray bullet are virtually nil. Mexican hoteliers, for their part, are ready to increase rates during the next few months.
