Last month the Center for Disease Control removed travel restrictions from Mexico, giving travelers the green light for sunny skies, beaches and margaritas.
However, the recent swine flu scare is keeping travelers at an unhealthy distance, causing the tourism industry in Mexico to falter. The result? Cheap prices on travel to Mexico.
Although travel to the region is perfectly safe, people have canceled vacations and re-booked elsewhere, causing some hotels to be as much as 70% below capacity. The swine flu scare, in addition to the economic slump has put travel on the back burner for a lot of families. This combination has been disastrous for the economy and tourism industry in Mexico and as a result, prices are very low.
Priceline spokesmen Brian Ek states that packages available on travel auction sites like Priceline are as much as 30%-50% off, providing incredible savings to people interested in travel to Mexico. The country is so desperate to attract travelers back to their resorts, beaches and cities, that hotels, flights and vacation packages are lower than they’ve ever been. By pricing vacations so low, the Tourism Board hopes to attract summer travelers and inspire more people to visit to the area.
Even cruises to Mexico are behind in numbers. Carnival and other cruise lines that recently cancelled trips into the area due to swine flue and are just now starting to rebook lost customers. While this is bad for the Mexican cruising industry, the result is cheap vacation deals for travelers. Cruises into Mexico are priced lower than they’ve ever been, providing an appealing package for summer travel at an amazing price.
People interested in a fun and cheap summer vacation should certainly consider Mexico. On travel auction sites like applevacations.com, packages are 70% off. Other sites have deals like half off flights to Mexico and resort hotels for less than $100 a night. These deals include vacation packages to some of Mexico’s most famous resort towns where travelers will enjoy discounts on travel to Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Cancun and Acapulco.
