Mexico continues to be among the world's hottest tourist destinations, especially as winter takes hold in the United States, Canada and Europe.
The country's world-class sun-drenched beaches, fascinating history and culture, award-winning all-inclusive hotels and resorts and accessibility make it a premier vacation destination, and as the U.S. State Department notes in its latest travel advisory, Mexico's tourist hotspots are safe to visit.
Stopping short of issuing one blanket travel advisory for the entire country, U.S. officials have broken down risk factors by state, specifying that Mexico's top tourist states, including places like Baja California Sur, Mexico City, Quintana Roo and Yucatan sit at a Level 2 or lower as of Oct. 5. That means that travelers should exercise increased caution or normal precautions when visiting.
