Rodolfo López-Negrete, chief operating officer of the Mexico Tourism Board, accompanied by assistants, met with Texas Secretary of State Hope Andrada this week to request that travel warnings about Mexico be less vague and more specific.
“Eight out of 10 tourists go either to major beach resorts or to Mexico City, none of which have proven to be dangerous to visitors,” one of the López-Negrete team explained.
Texas in March officially cautioned its citizens about travel to Mexico, where some areas have been plagued by violence.
