No Travel
Restrictions to Mexico
Mexico
City, April 25th, 2009- The Ministry of Tourism and the Mexico Tourism
Board announce that travel and tourism to Mexico
continues to flow as usual and as of now, there are no restrictions or travel
alerts, related to the Swine Flu, from any foreign country to visit Mexico.
The World Health Organization
(WHO) has confirmed that there is no possibility of issuing quarantine,
therefore travel in and out of the country has and will continue to flow as
normal.
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia has also confirmed that any American
planning to visit Mexico,
for leisure or business can do so without any restrictions whatsoever.
The Mexican Government has
activated Border Group, a joint effort between the Ministry of Tourism,
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Institute of Immigration and the
Customs Agency that are working together to continue to provide updates and
disseminate information about any outbreaks in Mexico.
In the meantime, all Mexican
ports, consular institutions and embassies abroad are equipped to offer information about the risks associated with the
Swine Flu, its forms of transmission, symptoms and preventive measures that
should be taken to avoid the spreading of this illness.
The Mexico Tourism Board (MTB) brings together the resources
of federal and state governments, municipalities and private companies to
promote Mexico’s
tourism attractions and destinations internationally. Created in 1999, the
MTB is Mexico’s
tourism promotion agency, and its participants include
members of both the private and
public sectors. The MTB has offices throughout
North America, Europe, Japan and Latin America. For more information on destinations and online trip bookings
