That is the headline Latin America columnist (Miami Herald) Andres Oppenheimer gave to his latest report. He noted that in spite of the nearly 50,000 killed in the war against organized crime, travel to Mexico was up by 2 percent last year and keeps growing. This Oppenheimer credits to easier access to the country: anyone with a U.S. visa automatically qualifies for a Mexico visa. This means more Russians, South Americans and even Chinese. Travel from the United States itself may be off slightly, but a slow economy, not fear, is blamed.
