Journal reports


Reports of crime and violence in Mexico are keeping tourists away, according to an article in The Wall Stret Journal. While tourism is down, Mexican authorities have been blaming this on economic conditions abroad while reporting that travel from countries like Brazil and Russia is up. The Journal quoted several industry leaders as saying that the perception that Mexico is dangerous is keeping vacationers away.
