Current drug issues in Mexico--Concerned?

[MarissaDC]

Hi, I am not getting married until October but am ready to confirm photographers and travel reservations. However, I'm nervous with all the stuff going on in Mexico recently. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I heard this morning that they are advising people not to travel there??

There are always issues and there are always alerts out. I don't think many people are concerned because the issues are not really located in the tourist areas that most of us will be in. Here are a couple thread about similar concerns.

I agree with Bianca. I just got back from my wedding in Tulum last week, flying in and out of Cancun airport and my wedding group felt safe all the time. They ventured out into Xcaret, Xel Ha, Playa del Carmen, Tulum town and Tulum ruins and no one had any issues. I guess the rule of thumb is to practice common sense in any unfamiliar place and never go anywhere alone.
